I clicked through the story to their Web site, only to find … a Flash-based splash page with thumping techno music. Sigh.
Yet, next to the obligatory Skip Intro button is one labeled Skip Always, ostensibly triggering a cookie that allows perpetual direct access to the actual home page. It’s as if a sly interface designer is telling us, “Yeah, we hate useless pages like this too. But the CEO loves it. Sorry.”
This is too funny, and sad at the same time.
Exactly the kind of thing I was thinking when I hit the conroyross.com site the other day.
CEO’s - What’re you gonna do with them? Always confusing web design with sex . . .
“Yeah, we hate useless pages like this too. But the CEO loves it. Sorry.”
Just goes to show the size of the vortex in Time & Space that separates Geeks from CEOs….. Get’s us Geeks reaching for their anxiety treatment of choice (caffiene mainly…)right away.
