God. Some things never change indeed...

I don't care how imperfect this website is or how much better the markup could've been. Design-wise it's impressive, visually stunning and beautifully presented, which is what designers will care about. It also drives the point home about contrast without being overly technical and ultimately, it serves the purpose of accessibility for a community who usually doesn't know a thing about it. That's all I need or care about personally. Pragmatism FTW.

If we weren't so anal-retentive about so many things, maybe, just maybe we wouldn't have so much trouble getting some of our points across people who think we're nothing but a bunch of dogmatic religious freaks.

Now, excuse me while I go P.O.U.R. myself another glass of soda. I'll just go back in my corner, sip it quietly and enjoy a bowl of pop corn while I watch the rest of this show.
