Can you write better with the mouse?

 

What a crappy looking site.

I'm not going to apologize like you see everyone else out there with a personal site doing. I'm just going to let you know, that I know that you know this looks like pure crap in new un-3d text.

So everyone that happened across this broken thread of the web, go ahead and pay us money at MMCIS - we make websites that work. And we do it for so many damn hours each week that personal websites suffer.

slow burn. n. Slang: A gradually increasing sense or show of anger

Slow burn is a term used to describe a slow build up of anger or frustration. I'm a fan of the slow burn. Personally it also represents just about anything that takes longer then it should but you don't really mind because of the comedic value of the frustration.

I also enjoy the term because it aptly describes an emotion as a palpable sensation. Descriptions of emotional situations can some times be hard to explain, and the terse success of "slowburn" as a descriptor rocks.

A good example of a slow burn, would be to watch me try and make a cool blue image for the heading of this page. I start out thinking that I can just paint out the letters in a fashion that's nice to look at. But it takes me MUCH longer then I thought it should. With every minute that I spend redoing the "S", I get a little more frustrated, but never once think that maybe it is the wrong avenue for achieving coolness. After about 14 minutes, I get so angry that I'm willing to use whatever I'm looking at and curse the gods of artistic expression for wrapping me up in this mortal coil which is almost completely devoid of the hand eye motor skills and aesthetic judgment necessary to move the mouse in a delicate fashion.

I've tried to learn to laugh at my anger, because it's only good for a laugh and/or legal fees. It also was one of the first themes I thought up that had an available internet domain.
