Seven Other Places

Here are seven other places on the Internet you could be.

• Sometimes I think Drew at Married to the Sea does his comics on acid. Other times, weed. I think he did this one on weed. The acid ones aren't as funny.
• Is love blossoming between an AE and a creative? Or is someone about to be stalked?
• God has a special woman for you, and she's got big tits.
• Good intentions getting twisted into meaninglessness.
• From north of Bal'more comes something refreshing : an agency blog that doesn't suck.
• Those MLMers always get testy when you shut 'em down.
• A satirist rewrites Shakespeare in chav-speak, including "MacBeff" and "De Taming of de Bitch."

The Black Hole That is The Internet

• The supposedly "neutral" Swiss are going to kill us all.
• You're about to be Tay Roll'd
• So, you've got a portfolio? BFD, says James.
• Twitter with care, just in case you weren't connected enough.
• Scamp posts a Bud Commercial with comment. 160 show up to have their say.

Stop With Your Stupid Target = "Blank"

If I'm clicking on a link that leaves your website, then it's perfectly fine for you to want to keep the page I was on displayed in a separate browser instance. I may not have finished what I was reading on your site and following a link that exits your website may mean that I never make it back to your site.



But if you're linking me to other pages of your website, I don't need a separate browser instance for each click. That's not only dumb, it's rude and annoying. Almost as bad as those jerks who won't let you hit the back button on your browser after you land on their homepage. "Haha! We got you now! You're staying on our site!" Wrong, I'm hitting the home button and making sure to avoid your site from now on.
