In a recent conversation with a client, he’d gotten internal inquiries about the amount of articles listed on his company’s home page along with requests to remove pictures so that there would be less need to scroll down the page.

Prior to that a client had asked if there was anything we could do to limit the amount of vertical scrolling on their intranet, because “so many people just won’t scroll down the page” (their own posted content drives page length).

I’m not sure I believe these “anti-scrolling” people exist. What happens if they open a PDF, or a Word file — do they not scroll down to get beyond what’s displayed on their screen?

So… I have to ask, how frikkin’ lazy do you have to be?!

Having the ability to dash off a quick note to a friend is the major point of email.

Even if you’ve been asked a question you can’t yet answer, write and say so. It’s the voids that are found in cyberspace that are most annoying. If I’ve taken the time to write because you’re my friend or family, you can take 2 minutes to write back. I don’t care who you are… Nobody is sooooo frikkin’ busy that they can’t take 2 minutes for an email… even me.

If you send me spam, now that’s a whole other rant.
