I Am Bismark

nytimes.com is annoying!

I have this weird habit of highlighting the paragraph of text that I am reading on screen. I have no idea why I started doing it; I guess it helps me keep track of where I am reading on the screen.

Anyway, one thing that I really hate about nytimes.com is the stupid little question mark bubble that pops up when I highlight a word. When I try to highlight a paragraph by double-clicking on it, instead my first click highlights the word and my second clicks the bubble, which pops open some completely worthless page with a word definition or something. Makes reading on the site absolutely terrible.

Sometimes, these fancywancy “Web 2.0” value-added things are just total crap.
