Confusion

Okay first off, I'm glad to see that Firefox has a commanding lead here. Good. Let's keep it that way. Second: Lynx?! How in the hell did Lynx manage to show up? For the uninitiated, Lynx is an old-school but still widely used text-based browser. That means no pictures. That means I'm BAFFLED as to how it shows up in my statcounter, as the only way that SC knows if you've been here or not was if the picture of the counter loaded at the bottom (so if you have images off, it doesn't know you're here).

Cool, so I decided to see just how viewable this page was in Lynx - and it was suprisingly easy to view. Much better than say NCSA Mosaic 2.0.1 or Netscape 1.12, both of which are on old Grandpa PowerBook.

Lynx? Weird. Even weirder is that there are Windows/OSX ports of Lynx. Who wants to use a text-based browser outside of a shell/terminal environment? I guess somebody obviously does or nobody would've made it.

Oh, and Johnny "Benedict Arnold" Damon selling his soul to the devil and taking George Steinbrenner's poisoned Yankee Money is absolute bullshit. That guy was a rockstar in New England, a hero, and he just threw all that away. He could've lived the rest of his life in Boston and never paid for a meal, gotten all types of free stuff, lots of future endorsement deals, and he would've been forever treated like a king, a folk legend. Now he'll just be another nobody in the crowd of overpaid millionaires in the Yankee dugout - and there's no way that team will promote him like Boston did. He'll be just another guy behind the real stars in New York, A-Rod, Jeter, Sheffield, and the Sandman. Ugh, it all just feels dirty. If Jason Varitek ever leaves Boston, I'll be distraught.
