Basically, my blog had been hacked, possibly due to a WP back door exposed on the 'wp-admin' interface. This was *more* embarrassing than not validating. Frankly, the occasional validation error as we move towards HTML5 is fine by me.

I've been pwned pretty brutally, clearly -- any stuff that refers back to links are not coded in by me. Back to reinstalling WP *sigh. @garretSmith — I ran this through validator.nu.

Dan, all you :) Michaela, hopefully you'll get to see Dan's crew pull antics someday! Note: I didn’t propose the panel this year, and I am unlikely to propose it next year.

I made a proposal to re-run the browser wars panel and had many of the same panelists lined up but for whatever reason the committee decided to reject the proposal. I took some of the concepts I wanted to explore in the panel and put them into a presentation (http://www.slideshare.net/dappelquist/sxsw-2010-future15-rise-of-mobile-apis-and-web-runtimes) which I gave during the "Future15" session of the conference on Saturday, but I would have much rather run the full panel. I plan to run a similar panel session at Mobile 2.0 San Francisco (http://mobile2event.com) in September so hope you can make it and maybe we'll convince the sxsw guys next year. Michaela -
