finally ALA posts something thought provoking

I’ve been disappointed by the lack of thoughtfulness and the general berevity of articles on A List Apart for…well…coming up on a year. Things have been ramping up recently, and have finally peaked at with Ben Henick’s 12 Lessons for Those Afraid of CSS and Standards. What a great, thoughtful, and intelligently written piece.

One of my favorites quote (and point) is: Lesson No. 4 (with thanks to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry): Perfection is not when there’s nothing to add, but when there’s nothing to take away.

This is the kind of writing I used to come to ALA for.

    JZ publicly invited me to submit more often… so I see a constituency gathering, I guess.

    Ross Olson (another ALA contrib) is on my contact list, and when I IM’ed him to point him at the article, he called Lesson No. 5 the ‘best heading ever.’

    Thanks for mentioning the article. :-)
