Succinct explanation of DAM software.

I had a similar experience starting a company in August of 2000 right as the dot com bubble was crashing. It worked out, perhaps partly because we had a similar drive to do it against any odds. Nothing like a strong belief in what you are doing.
Re:The Fall and Rise of SVG on Saturday December 05, 2015 @03:30AM (#10681307)
You're right it's the publishing platform, but it is also my laziness. I don't know if it's the Wordpress theme I'm using or the SVG plugin I tried, but I have yet to get fluent at using SVG in this Wordpress blog: ironically it seemed to work fine on desktop but didn't resize well on mobile. I'll give it another try.

That's a great point. I was talking with Doug Schepers and when I noted the resurgence of SVG that's what he said... "oh, I think the Retina screens brought it back" - it is true, SVG is beautiful on Retina screens, there are SVG Test Suite examples where the raster "it's supposed to look like this" image looks very bad next to the SVG side on a retina display. But I think the ubiquity of SVG in browsers was clearly happening before retina screens were widespread. No doubt it is a factor in adoption.
