I like to ride my bike.

please think of the children

Posted on | May 20, 2004 |

This could possibly be the most offensive, horrible, and explicit piece of code I have ever seen:

<center>
       <blink>
             <b><font color="#ff3333">
                  Help us Help you, renew your registration by mail!
             </font></b>
       </blink>
</center>

    It looks like they removed the blink

    Nope. Check out the bottom of the page.

    The grammar is pretty horrendous too! The punctuation anyway. And Capitalization.

    Noticed something neat.
    I scrolled down to look at the bottom of the page to see the blinking text, and there was no blinking text. :) Looked at the source file, the blink was still there. Fired up FireFox, the text blinks. So Safari seems to ignore blink. Woot.

Dreams

To live in a bike friendlier world. To create the greatest collection of fabulous shoes ever assembled. To see a viable third party in US politics. To get local Rio team riders to acknowledge existence on road.
