What I do has to be a function of what I can do, not a function of what people ask me to do.
It’s time to recognise the Internet as a basic human right, that means guaranteeing affordable access for all, ensuring Internet packets are delivered without commercial or political discrimination, and protecting the privacy and freedom of Web users regardless of where they live.

Now, if someone tries to monopolize the Web, for example pushes proprietary variations on network protocols, then that would make me unhappy.
Cool URIs don’t change.
AI is not just heading for our industry, it will radically change the machinery we use in marketing.
Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.
I suppose it’s amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don’t work.
