Description:

Hilarious. .NET magazine had an article related to the whole HTML 5/2022 thing, wherein they quoted me a few times. But they didn't stop there -- they included an editorial cartoon of me, on my deathbed, still trying to "serve fucking clients," as HTML 5 is completed. Hah.

Thanks to Travis Schmeisser from our favorite competitors, nGen Works, for hooking me up with the scan. See you next week, man. :)

    Very funny. Either they have no idea what you look like, or they think you'll gain 180 pounds over the next 14 years.

    Haha brilliant! Feel free to add this to the Featured in .net (Dot Net) Magazine pool! :) Looks like an interesting article too.

    I can't help but notice the two button trackpad. So sad that future Jeff is a Windows user.

    @JB I'm really curious who the illustrator is -- wanted to give him/her credit, but I couldn't make it out in the scan. If anyone knows, lemme know!

    @jimray: How do you know Apple doesn't, in the future, finally go two-button?! Huh?!

    Looks to me like it says "Tom Hughes" as illustrator. His website includes a much cleaner version of the image. I also like this one of the Ricky Gervais podcast

    Thanks, Josh!

    That Ricky Gervais podcast illustration is genius!
