I do this because I love it. I can well remember the first time I saw the web - I was enthralled. And all these years later, I still am.

I have a thirst for knowledge - and keeping up with the web keeps me busy in that area (as you said - ever changing technology means a constant learning process). As well, the sense of satisfaction in completing a project is always a bit of a rush. I get a kick out of seeing people’s eyes light up when they see their idea come to life on the Internet. (Not to mention seeing my own ideas come to fruition.)

And last, but not least, I have a passion for standards. The perfectionist in me really likes to see things validate and work the way they’re suppose to. (Even though that’s not always possible.)

So far I’ve learned much in search engine optimization, xhtml and css development, podcasting, vidcasting and other ways of integrating xml to help prioritize and organize information on the web. I’m interested in how others have integrated the technology that drives them into the sites they have worked on.
