Holy crap, that's sooner than I expected

For those who aren't registered for Intercon or don't check their email, signups for Intercon J begin Wednesday at 3pm 7pm Eastern!. Expect the more popular games to fill up very quickly thereafter. More info at the website, including the detailed list of game descriptions and schedule of what's running when.

If you're in New England and interested in LARP, it's a great way to try out a bunch of games with a bunch of very fun people!

Just because you know Flash doesn't mean you can design a site

I would like to nominate Verizon's Droid phone website for a Giving-Flash-A-Bad-Name award. Seriously. The intro is ok, in fact, it's a more effective sales pitch than the actual site, which:

- Hung on a blank screen the first time I tried to load it
- Makes you read menu text that is upside down and sideways
- Has non-link text scattered at random throughout the menu
- Requires a click and an animation PER SENTENCE of information
- Has a Store Locator link that goes to the wrong page on Verizon's site

I'm far from a pro at interface design, but my mind reels nonetheless. Seriously, someone go paid for this? It's silly for me to get this worked up over crappy web design, I know, but urgh. =:\

...still want one of them phones, though.

/rant.

PSA: English is dumb.

It needs word that means "The current circumstances cause me to wish that things were otherwise, despite taking no personal responsibility for said circumstances and/or feeling that the hand I did play in them did not exceed implicit or explicit boundaries of propriety".

This would be a much-needed substitute for "sorry".
