We agree on the reality bullshit.

That's a reasonable argument. TV doesn't inspire me at all; I even have
trouble getting enthused over most movies but it's hard to deny that some
TV shows can be beneficially stimulating to some people some of the time.
As for myself, I get "kicks" from stuff like programming, doing markup and
css well, and even just bsing here on the newsgroup. I used to derive
quite a bit of pleasure from books, but even those lately have seemed
rather mundane and passe. -Old age creeping in, I guess.

I can't understand why you don't like my website. I consider it the
pinnacle of design excellence. <g> Okay, maybe the "Make your own
webpage" pages are a bit basic, but certainly the home page is a "Star
Wars"-flavoured extravaganza. And what they both do is, in my opinion,
quite unique. Anyway, one man's oolong tea is another's chicken noodle
soup. Hasta.
