I've never had a problem with the mobile site either, even on my old phone's tiny 2.5" screen. *shrug* Now I have the hilarious image of Hobie nervously tapping threads on his phone like he's playing Minesweeper in my head.

Doesn't matter what ADA says. In Massachusetts, you'll get a ticket regardless if there's a sign or not.

That's all well and good, but obviously people aren't looking at what they just posted to see that it didn't resize. Also it was only a once in a while occurrence until the past week. Suddenly it is happening a lot. :?

Even if it is shrinking the display size for you, I'd think you're still downloading the huge image and eating up your data plan though.

If it's painted on the fround, you have to abide, sign or no sign. Same when you see "STOP" painted on the street. Even if no sign, you're supposed to stop (I know because I got a ticket for not stopping when I was fifteen).

Random Thought:

I wonder if there is a special edition of Gremlins 2 that contains both the VHS sequence and Theater sequence.

Damn it's gonna be hot in this building all summer. I'd like to get some short-sleeved dress shirts but I can't find any that don't make me look like a little boy or a used car salesman.

I always roll up the cuffs. And don't wear an undershirt.
