I’m taking you back in time today to February 2005, when we had a batch of hundreds of shirts printed for the @w3c annual conference, where all the people who develop standards for the web met face to face.

The printer couldn’t read the ®️ sign on the design files and we ended up with #wtf8 instead of #utf8 😳
#oops

The back of the T-shirt had the full text w3c logo, with the right sign for “registered”, the huge pale blue 5, and text “fifth annual technical plenary week 2005, Boston MA USA”
