In fact, I think the major networks (and even the minor ones) still think the internet is just another outlet for cramming stuff down your thoat. I hate visiting their websites. Its basically just more commercials. Why the heck would I go to a website to see more commercials? This is in the same vein as the commercials during TV shows I wrote about <A HREF="http://gabemounce.blogspot.com/2006/07/its-about-being-awesome.html/" REL="nofollow">here.</A> ABC we're talking about you.

I wondered what you'd think of that piece.<BR/><BR/>My main point of the post, of course, was that ABC did a remarkably terrible job of making the information available. <BR/><BR/>The anchor doesn't have to say "check out our website for more info." He can just report the story and be done with it. But if he decides to invite people to come to the site for more info, then the info had better be there, and prominently.<BR/><BR/>Maybe if I was as smart as a monkey, I wouldn't have had such a hard time finding it.<BR/><BR/>(or maybe if a chimp hadn't designed their website - no offense to chimps).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923543314100538622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264230419520515196.post-14271282433693391092007-12-05T09:21:00.000-05:002007-12-05T09:21:00.000-05:00Dan - hello from "blue-sky Colorado"!

Just wanted you to know that PBL & your attitude on life has had a permanent impact on me! You'll be glad to know that I am working on finishing up my first book (called "Why be merely human?" - the title is based off of 1 Corinthians 3), which was started largely due to your enthusiasm to create neat stuff :) That, and God's direction! So, thanks for your positive attitude on life - you and Kim are great! Project "Stymied" didn't get its first copy out the door - I got stymied in the process and God was leading me elsewhere for a time - perhaps I'll come back to it, who knows? Have a Merry Christmas in Ohio, take care brother!

Headlines about chimps pressing the right buttons, blah blah blah. Chimps are so brilliant in their button pushing, they have an almost-human intelligence. Yippee. I could have told you that by what we know about chimps in their own habitat. But, you never read a story about a human that was able to survive in a chimp world, learning the chimp's way of eating and communicating. Throw a 5 year old human in with chimps and see what he learns. Nooooo...that would be too unethical. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you couldn't find the story easily.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885017846154176305noreply@blogger.com
