A couple of my Web Pet Peeves...

Grrr! ...

1) Sites that show precisely nothing until you unblock JavaScript - I'm looking at you, http://www.attitudeiseverything.com/ !

2) Links that when middle-clicked (Linux), hijack the current page rather than opening a new one. If I *wanted* to lose the current page, I would have left-clicked - Duhhh!

Anyone else annoyed by these behaviours? - Comments please!

Chuck Lorre Vanity Cards - Warning: May make you think!

Ever watched "Dharma and Greg" (where I first noticed these) or other Chuck Lorre productions (Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory,...) and got frustrated because the 2-second flashed message at the end was too short to read?
Ever thought "I'm going to record that and freeze-frame it so I can read it"?
Someone's saved you the trouble:

Enjoy!
And thanks, Chuck :)
Big, Big Bang fan :)
