In short.....

As consumers of web information and services, security must always be one of our greatest concerns. The security advisory website, Secunia, have reported 24 unpatched security risks as of February 2010.

As web citizen developers, its important we use & maintain standards to ensure the best and most consistent customer experience for every user no matter what technology they are using. But we run into problems with IE6, spending a lot more time and money on developing fixes for a dinosaur.

Tell us a bit about Sum.

Sum is a work of literary fiction composed of forty mutually exclusive stories. Each story offers a different reason for our existence and the meaning of life and death. These are not serious proposals; they’re satirical and thought provoking lenses through which to see our lives at new angles.

Can you give us some examples?

In different stories, God is a married couple, God is a committee, God is a species of dimwitted creatures, or God is the size of a bacterium. In other stories there is no God at all and people in the afterlife battle over stories of His non-existence. In other stories we are mobile rovers built by planetary cartographers, or we are ten-dimensional creatures taking a vacation in three-dimensional bodies, or our life runs backwards after the expansion of the universe reverses and you get to see all the details you mis-remembered.
