Great lecture by CSS inventor and internet pioneer Håkon Wium Lie in Halden today (at Østfold University of Applied Sciences, the same building where he went to high school many years ago).
Out of context quotes:
-"I want to advise young people to plant an apple tree"
-"What I thought at the time was: Europeans can do standards, Americans can do software"
-"In addition to plant an apple tree, you should build a Viking ship"
