Irony isn’t just a river in Egypt.

Apparently, acronyms are immune to standards and, indeed, organization.

“ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is the world’s largest developer of standards.”

Tsk, tsk. Clearly, they are only interested in double standards, as any web geek cringes looking at their table-laden, FrontPage code. Do what ISO says, ye quality controllers, not what they do.

It’s a similar sort of logic that has Amazon giving people entirely incongruous impressions of who I am.

  1. You wouldn’t BELIEVE the suggestions Amazon gives ME…

    well, maybe you would. But you’d never buy ’em.
    Me, I might.
    But not today.

  2. Speaking of web standards, does your office use any content management systems (i.e. TikiWiki, UserLand, Microsoft CMS, etc.) for larger sites you create?

  3. CMS has been a topic of much debate lately. On one hand, it’s an excellent service that we have offered our clients for some time, but nw they are hesitant to use our hand-crafted administration systems. They want brand names. The other hand twitches uncontrollably at the thought as maintenance still brings in a fair amount of revenue.

    Marketing is an evil business, I tell you.

  4. ISO isn’t actually an acronym, you know.
