Color Contrast

Could people please think of hooking up their websites with black text on white background instead of vice versa?

I know not everyone thinks about an audience, or cares, but some people do have interesting things to write about. However, some people insist on unreadable colors like light blue text on a dark blue screen or orange text on a red background.

I mean, Why bother? It's criminal.

Flash Sites

Even though I plan on taking a class in Adobe Flash, frankly, I hate the software application. I can't stand animation on any web sites. I admit I like to read sites like Craigslist, NYTimes and Drudge, because s**t! isn't floating wildly and distractingly across the screens.

Animated, and disabling, full screen icons are like having a big disgusting bug on the screen that you cannot kill. I hate wasting time having to hunt for the close button, or mute the damn thing.

Log-in / Register

I am done with this. No mas.

I have so many damn accounts, just to what? read less than four sentences? No thanks.

Social Networking

Seriously, what purpose do they serve? One is never going to meet (or want to) these people. Real conversations are non-starters. Oh, well. Another fad waiting to die.

YouTube

Seriously guys and gals, fix the video lag time. It's getting lame.

Internet Addiction

I have it: I must break it.
