Overly Egressive
I was just at Best Buy, where apparently the recent rain/wind storms damaged the outer exit door. Everyone entering used the entrance normally by walking through both sets of sliding doors. Those exiting had to use the inner sliding exit door, then shuffle over to the left and go through the outer entrance door. Got [...]
Gotta Keep Em Separated
Why does every online program want to integrate with the others? Is this necessary? I don’t think it is.
Facebook and Twitter? Ok, I get that, sorta. I don’t like it though.
