Strangest Dream: End to Browser Wars?
(original lyrics by Ed McCurdy and known to most because of Paul Simon, thx guys)
Strangest Dream (Web version)
Last night I had the strangest dream
I’ve ever dreamt before
I dreamed we had all agreed
To put an end to browser war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women (but mostly men)
And the papers they were signing said
They’d not do specs wrong again
And when the specs all were signed
And a million copies made
Some joined hands and thought they’d have a prayer
About the specifications, made
And the people on the Web below
Were running up and down
While markup and scripting and browser wars
Were scattered all around
Last night I had the strangest dream
I’ve ever dreamt before
I dreamed that we had all agreed
To put an end to browser wars.

Last night I dreamt of … hmmmmm … world peace. Yeah, world peace. That’s the ticket. However, near the end of the dream, I was murdered.
Holzschlag and folk: Have a very Happy New Year.

SHH! Don’t mention the phrase “Browser Wars”! It’ll give the SciFi channel an idea for some lame mini-series!!

Nice poem, Molly.
Getting a bit religious about the browser disparities, are we?
I do like the fourth stanza; it’s got some brutal imagery!

@lee, I’m surprised that hasn’t already happened. Really.
@carolyn ann: “getting”? There’s a reason the term “evangelist” is used in the context of IT.
@dean: With what I know of your broad musical tastes, I’m thinking you must know the original(s). Either way, thank you. You’re the code poet however. Not I.
@all: A very happy New Year! xoxoM

Last night, I had the strangest dream
I dreamed IE got away from Windows versions
Last night, I had the strangest dream
I dreamed Firefox built in Windows

in ways which improve the business and technical outcomes of web development. .These do include using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), http://zets.net eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), Cascading Stylesheets (CSS), JavaScript, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and other technologies. But web standards (or contemporary best practice) also promotes a methodology..
