<p class="intro">IN NOVEMBER, as part of the <a href="http://www.zeldman.com/2010/11/28/dont-forget-blue-beanie-day/">4th Annual Blue Beanie Day</a> to support web standards, we announced a web standards haiku contest, with prizes donated by <a href="http://www.peachpit.com/">Peachpit</a>/<a href="http://www.peachpit.com/imprint/index.aspx?st=61074">New Riders</a> (&#8220;Voices That Matter&#8221;) and <a href="http://books.alistapart.com/">A Book Apart</a>. Entries were posted on Twitter with the hashtag #bbd4, with judging to follow in December. It should have been easy.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, searches on hashtags only go back a few days. Which means, when <cite><a href="http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/">Designing With Web Standards 3rd Edition</a></cite> co-author <a href="http://unstoppablerobotninja.com/">Ethan Marcotte</a> and I sat down to judge your entries, said entries were nowhere to be found.</p>
<p>Not even mighty Google was able to uncover more than a few of them.</p>
<p>We wrote to our friends at Twitter to ask for help, but they were too busy dating supermodels on a pile of money to get back to us. With existing entries sucked into the void formerly known as Twitter search results, and with all those great books to give away and all those eager participants to thank, we have only one choice:</p>
<h3>Blue Beanie Day Haiku Contest Phase II—This Time It&#8217;s Personal</h3>
<p>Instructions follow:</p>
<p>Attention, web design geeks, contest fans, standards freaks, HTML5ophiles, CSSistas, grammarians, bookworms, UXers, designers, developers, and budding Haikuists. Can you do <em>this?</em></p>
<p><code>Do not tell me I<br />
Am source of your browser woes.<br />
Template validates.<br />
</code></p>
<p>Write a web standards haiku (like that one), and post it <del>on Twitter</del> <b>right here</b> between today and Friday, December 24th. Entries must be &#8220;postmarked&#8221; no later than 11:59 PM Eastern. Judging will be held the week after Christmas, with winners announced before the New Year.</p>
<h3>FAQ</h3>
<p><em>Can I re-post the haiku(s) I submitted in November?</em></p>
<p>Yes, please!</p>
<p><em>Can I create one or more new haikus?</em></p>
<p>Yes, of course.</p>
<p><em>How many entries may I post?</em></p>
<p>As many as you like. However, you can only win once. (In other words, if you post the best ten haikus, you won&#8217;t win ten prizes, you&#8217;ll win one.)</p>
<p><em>I can&#8217;t post my entry here. (I&#8217;m behind a firewall.)</em></p>
<p>Unfortunately, posting behind firewalls is disabled on this site. (By doing this, I remove 99% of comment spam.) Try posting from your phone, or from a location other than your current one.</p>
<h3>Thanks and Praise</h3>
<p>Thanks to our sponsors, <a href="http://www.peachpit.com/">Peachpit</a>/<a href="http://www.peachpit.com/imprint/index.aspx?st=61074">New Riders</a> (&#8220;Voices That Matter&#8221;) and <a href="http://books.alistapart.com/">A Book Apart</a>, and to <a href="http://dougvos.com/">Doug Vos</a>, co-founder of Blue Beanie Day.</p>
<p>Let the haikus commence!</p>

<p class="intro">Attention, web design geeks, contest fans, standards freaks, HTML5ophiles, CSSistas, grammarians, bookworms, UXers, designers, developers, and budding Haikuists. Can you do <em>this?</em></p>
<p><code>Do not tell me I<br />
Am source of your browser woes.<br />
Template validates.<br />
</code></p>
<p>Write a web standards haiku (like that one), and post it on Twitter with the hashtag <code>#bbd4</code> between now and November 30th—which happens to be the <a href="http://www.zeldman.com/2010/10/12/4th-annual-blue-beanie-day/">fourth international Blue Beanie Day in support of Web Standards</a>.</p>
<p>Winning haikus will receive free books from <a href="http://www.peachpit.com/">Peachpit</a>/<a href="http://www.peachpit.com/imprint/index.aspx?st=61074">New Riders</a> (&#8220;Voices That Matter&#8221;) and <a href="http://books.alistapart.com/">A Book Apart</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://unstoppablerobotninja.com/">Ethan Marcotte</a>, co-author of <cite><a href="http://www.zeldman.com/dwws/">Designing With Web Standards 3rd Edition</a></cite> and I will determine the winners.</p>
<p>Enter as many haikus as you like. Sorry, only one winning entry per person. Now get out there and haiku your heart out!</p>
<p>See you on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=153180248051749">Blue Beanie Day</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="intro">Fred Blasdel <a href="http://www.zeldman.com/2009/11/24/on-self-promotion/#comment-49951">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You’ll always draw ire for having stumbled into being the Chief of the cargo-cult side of Web Standards, with so-called ‘XHTML’ as the false idol. You did a lot of good, but not without ambiguating the nomenclature with a lot of feel-good bullshit.</p>
<p>You often find yourself as a mediator between designery folks (who you have a strong grasp over) and technical implementors (who will always hold a grudge against you for muddying the discourse). Asking people to wear blue toques does not particularly affect this balance.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>&#8220;Cargo cult.&#8221; I love that phrase. But I&#8217;m not sure I agree with your assessment. </p>
<p>XHTML, with its clearer and stricter rules, came out just as many of us were rediscovering semantic markup and learning of its rich value in promoting content. It wasn&#8217;t a coincidence that we took this W3C specification seriously and helped promote it to our readers, colleagues, etc. The stricter, clearer rules of XHTML 1.0 helped enforce a new mindset among web designers and developers, who had previously viewed HTML as an &#8220;anything goes&#8221; medium (because browsers treated it that way, still do, and quite probably always will; indeed HTML5 codifies this, and that&#8217;s not necessarily a bad thing).</p>
<p>Future versions of XHTML became a dead-end not because there was no value in strict, semantic, structural markup, but because the people charged with moving XHTML forward lost touch with reality and with developers. This is why HTML5 was born. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s history and it&#8217;s human behavior. But those subsequent twists and turns in the story don&#8217;t mean that standardistas who supported XHTML 1.0 (or still do) and who used it as a teaching tool when explaining semantic markup to their colleagues were wrong or misguided to do so.</p>
<p>That some technical people in the standards community think we were wrong  is known, but their belief does not make it so. </p>
<p>That a handful of those technical people express their belief loudly, rudely, and with belligerent and unconcealed schadenfreude does not make their point of view true or persuasive to the rest of us. It just makes them look like the close-minded, socially maladroit, too-early-toilet-trained, tiny-all-male-world-inhabiting pinheads they are.</p>
