Haven't had your fill of tech frustrations today? Then give this monstrosity a try! :D



And some interesting thoughts on the "invisible language" of the web from Gizmodo:

We take for granted that a button of a certain size, shape, and color will reliably perform a very specific task, and that it can always be found on a certain part of a web page. It’s the result of years of work and analysis by interface designers striving to make websites accessible and easy to navigate without forcing users to sit through a tutorial each and every time. In a way, it’s a language we’ve all unconsciously learned...

We made it in about 5 and a half minutes while our roommates (one a software engineer, one a graphic designer) watched and cackled. Apparently this is an impressive performance.

If we are indeed faster than expected, I credit our years in the welfare system, whose websites are second to only college websites for bad choices.
