I think I’m going to change my site’s footer to “Site best viewed with a computer and a cold one.” I suppose I should modernize that a bit, since people use more than just computers to view websites, but I’d dearly love the opportunity to poke fun at the whole “site-best-viewed-with” (insert browser, usually Chrome) nonsense.

The surprise heat wave broke today, so the windows are open and there’s a wonderful breeze coming in. I looked at the temperature in Augusta and it’s 94 compared to our 72. Glad I’m not there.

    @arush I like the nostalgic vibe; then again I’m a member of the Oregon Trail Generation. ?

    @arush Oh, good grief, sites are really doing that again!? The 1990s called and they want their tired, petulant design patterns back 🙁

    And, yeah, I am jealous of your 72°!

    @Bruce Ouch, that article gave me near-panic-flashbacks of calling girls and hoping their parents did not answer…!

    @smokey Yeah all kinds of things are doing it. Aren’t using Chrome when you visit something? Oh look! Here’s a message telling you to update your browser and listing Chrome as the recommended one. I use Firefox, and not IE11, which is definitely a modern browser. So I suppose we’ll have to do the whole browser diversity thing all over again.

    @Bruce Yeah Oregon Trail! I know there are some new versions of that, haven’t checked to see if any of them are accessible.

    @arush Grr. I feel like taking a keyboard—one of those big, heavy 1990s PC keyboards—and slapping the people who do best-viewed-with upside the head.
