My annoyance du jour:<\/i> the failed promise of PNGs. They seem like they should be the holy grail for so many designer problems, no? But alas, no – support for them is still iffy on almost all browsers, as evidenced this morning by my continued attempts to get a simple JavaScript rollover working with PNGs. No dice. Arrrrrg.
\nI started out loving web design, but I grew to hate it because of the ridiculousness of the politics involved, the pettiness of the web browsers and the companies who build them, the constant running-to-stand-still nature of the beast (Ruby on what?), the “but my neighbor’s kid will do it for $20” of it, and I hate hate hate<\/i> that I went to grad school to get away from this crap and yet here I am, still building websites.<\/i>
