Year Zero

I am as frustrated as any other web developer at the glacial pace of the CSS Working Group and the lack of progress with CSS3. I just don't think we need to dump the baby out with the bathwater. Change is needed. It looks like change is coming. It may even be a regime change. But let's not start drawing up new calendar systems just yet. The clock of CSS is running slow. We need to wind it up. That doesn't mean we need to smash it.

The Language of Accessibility

Good markup is accessible by default. As long as you’re using HTML elements in a semantically meaningful way—which you should be doing anyway, without even thinking about accessibility—then your documents will be accessible to begin with.
