to continue on this jakob nielsen thread – parodies of him are found everywhere lately… most are knee-jerk reactions, usually in the form of profane rants, cursing His Usabilityness for his insolance and deeply pessimistic view of humanity… vestige offers a parody of nielsen’s site itself, mocking his inability to present information in any coherent manner.

Can you feel the community yet? granted we’re still waiting for rebes and wonder hammer to join us… and there are currently only four of us… oh, and why are there no win2k drivers for my new sony digital camera?? am i supposed to be content viewing them in the 2″x3″ VCD display until Sony decides to support their products?
when dying from a guinea pig bite just isn’t enough… kill your sims in other ways. i do hate celebrity deathmatch, but i can’t help but share the fuzzy feeling i get when i hear them speak simolease. oh. and don’t forget to check out the lust posters. we all knew the sims wasn’t fer kiddies.
God bless the dirty, rumor-filled underside of the dot-com revolution.
i’ve got a new camera. it is surprisingly small – though not quite the “put-it-in-your-shirt-pocket” small…
