notes from Balisage

["Simon St.Laurent" <simonstl@simonstl.com>]

If you're interested enough in markup to linger on this list, you should 
definitely consider the Balisage conference, http://balisage.net/.  It 
was last week, but there will be another dose of amazing intensity next 
year.

I hadn't made it in a few (too many!) years, but was happy to find that 
it was just as powerful as usual, and maybe even a little more grounded 
in markup practice than I remembered.

There was too much there to report, but I did attempt two broad articles:

<http://radar.oreilly.com/2012/08/markup-xml-json-balisage.html>
(XML and JSON; Metadata, content and design;
Markup and programming language boundaries)

<http://radar.oreilly.com/2012/08/shrinking-and-stretching-the-boundaries-of-markup.html>
(MicroXML and LMNL)

And of course you can find lots of good in the #balisage Twitter feed, 
though of course it's weirdly reverse-chronological now:

Hope to see you there next year!
