"Till human voices wake us, and we drown."

Steps by hand

Okay, Opera is about change...let's try this tack

I care about change, too. It overwhelmed me this past year. (Mortality?)

Heh, heh. First step, I began to get fed up with Bill Gates. I find myself switching to Mac. I hope Opera joins me in this magic quest. I'll keep a PC around, just in case. The same away-from-MS bent led me to open-source areas, and appreciation for non-Word document formats (e.g., OpenOffice.org).

My websites: somehow I fell upon Steve Krug's book, Don't Make Me Think. (I was able to read it in two hours...now that's usable!) Immediately, I rewrote five websites. But, usability and accessibility go hand in hand. I found a world of research on both topics, many involving the very web standards at which you know Opera excels.

Somehow rebellious (see paragraph 1) I now found myself opposing large corporate domination in general. Internet neutrality! (There is evidence of corporate efforts to control internet content and the content of transmissions via ISP.)

Finally, somewhat shaken by a report on TV showing a huge shrinkage of the northern ice cap, I find myself taking cloth bags to the grocery, and like that. (You may be sure, though, I don't want a group hug.)

It's all about change. Opera's about change. I grow. I change. It's about time. Que no?

Live, consume, die
