- How We Read Online
Lots of good observations. The ones that make me wonder about the usefulness of a web page to me are:
- Does it initially come up with readable text, or do I have
to press Control-and-Plus a couple of times? Ironically
this Slate.com page fails that test with Firefox on my
Ubuntu system.
- How many annoying flashy ads does the page contain? You know
the type. "YOU ARE A WINNER!!!!!!" strobing away, no doubt
causing epileptic fits in a very small percentage of the population.
- How many of those stupid double underlined links does the page have, that pop up a mini window right over the text I was trying to read?
- Does it initially come up with readable text, or do I have
to press Control-and-Plus a couple of times? Ironically

Ubuntu system.
- Alexey Titarenko's "City of Shadows"
I found some of the smoky ones quite chilling. Better increase my Prozac dosage.

- ZZ Top - Crossroads Guitar Festival
I know, I'm showing my age, but if you do like their music (and for me that's before they went commercial in the 80's), then you might like to know that there is a new ZZ Top Live DVD out.
A couple observations from this YouTube video. (Notice how I use another bulleted list to get you to keep reading):
- Dusty Hill has large feet (or he likes wearing clown shoes).
- You can get whiplash from your beard. Perhaps they should have tied those suckers down or at least weighted them, although I suspect you could take an eye out with the latter.
