Is at the movies, watching 3:10 to Yuma.
Having lived in Seattle just long enough to know a handful of the guys from both of these great media companies, I can truly say: this is a perfect match. Congrats to Rex, Mike, Ashley, Calvin, and everyone else involved. I’m so anxious to see where this goes! More coverage:

THis is a very well-written and thoughtful rebuttal to my post, The New Layers of Web Development. However, the rebuttal was unnecessary, because I actually agree with everything Peter says here. He basically says that it’s still important for your (X)HTML markup to be structurally sound, because the World Wide Web doesn’t know (or care) about your database — it only knows about your markup. It’s a very good point, but it’s not at all in contradiction to my post. I, of course, believe that your markup should be as structurally sound as possible. I just believe that that structure begins at the database level, not at the markup level. It is replicated, and sometimes even enhanced at the markup level — but in a typical modern web app, the One True Source™ for structure is the database, not the markup. This is important especially in our multi-contextual web. The (X)HTML markup can bee seen as contextual structure. In other context — say, RSS or mobile or e-mail —the contextual structure of the same data may be different, but the core structure of the content remains. I definitely have more thoughts on this topic after the great discussion; I’ll get to them eventually. Visit site »
