I generally try not to mention my age, because I find that unfortunately
some people immediately discredit me because of it. :-( I'm always glad to
see that there are people willing to keep an open mind about age. That's why
I support projects like the ArsDigita Prize (http://arsdigita.org/prize/)
which the Herald article is about.

Thanks to everyone who is able to put aside their prejudices not only in
age, but in all matters, so that work on standards like these can go ahead
and we can build the Web of the future. I don't know about all of you, but I
get very excited when I think about the possibilities for the Semantic Web.
The sooner we get standards, the better. It's not hard -- even an 8th grader
can do it! :-) So let's get moving.
