   Sigh….I need to proofread more carefully. @Purple People Eater, that’s right, it was browser-based forgiveness rather than the code. Should have remembered that. And the p should indeed have been b. XHTML was a weird time. I liked the idea of portability and single-sourcing, but had mixed feeling about having to use b. I much prefer HTML 5’s flexibility.

   (had to rewrite this because the system renders the HTML—sigh—)It’s kind of disappointing, the P should go at the beginning of the paragraph rather than the end. And yeah, I think P was originally self-closing, but even in 1995 when I first learned HTML we got told to close elements. They need to update the strip, Jason should be marking things up semantically— STONG instead of P because it’s not just about making the text bold. Come on, you got to think about meaning! And using the font element? I’m mean, okay, the +3 is kind of interesting because it lets you use sizes relative to the base font, but really, he should be controlling the font information with CSS, The code will never pass an accessibility audit.

   That was kind of fun. Least anyone take my comments seriously (though they are accurate), I’m just messing around.

   Been debating posting. Not a journalism prof but in a related field. If he told the subject the article was “for class,” it’s not for publication without permission.

   It is pretty amazing. Makes an awesome breakfast taco as well.

   That’s really odd as neither the plural of singular of the pejorative in question has an e in it.

   TexMex? Gimmie a big honking bowl of carne guisada. And if you’ve not had it, you need to.

    Get ready for “Mickey’s Mouse Trap” based on the now out of copyright Steamboat Willie cartoon. And lets not forget about “Blood and Honey” based on the original Winnie the Pooh. Heads up that both are basically horror movies.
