Obnoxious Iconography

Not that kind, this kind:

I hate myself for doing it but I keep seeing sites with these little icons like “Firefox Rules” or “I Am A Blogger” or “BlogLines4Ever” or “Pro-BLOG!” so I figured I’d jump in the action with some icon for me and the Geek Friends. Feel free to download them and display them on your blog.  Or if you really hate icons:

Have a good weekend.

  4. It’s bad enough that we’ve continued to designate ourselves the Geekfriends, like that Simpsons episode where all the nerds meeting inside the walls of the school called themselves the “super friends”, but now we have to have icons to call more attention to our collective dorkularity? What next, a theme song? We’re so going to get beat up by other bloggers, or at least I will by the 2% Laws of Improbability.

    And yet, I too have added them to my sidebar. Thanks, Rey.

  6. They haven’t made it over to my template because I’m still fuming over how IE sucks and have started to rebuild my template (off-line) to work better in the browser used by the prevailing Microsoft drones. Man, why doesn’t everybody use Firefox?

    Anyway the icons will make it over to the current blog on Monday.

    I’ll get working on a theme song.

  7. I’m going to be forced to use my own icons. :(

    And in recent news, I upgraded to IE 7 Beta to try it out and although it uses tabs, is sleek and seems to support all the stuff that the last versions of IE don’t, it caused several of my other programs to crash.

  8. Does IE7 (Beta) show my website – and other sites built with CSS anf floats – properly?

    Also, will it be usable by current Windows XP users or will the final versionn be Vista-only? Will it do an automatic upgrade and install for current IE 6 users without any effort on their part (most people using the IE 6 standard that came with their machines probably don’t know how to upgrades).

    And when Firefox 2 comes out, how many years will it be before Microsoft rips off the innovations it contains?

  9. Yeah, it showed the website the way it should look.

    The Beta version was being used on my WinXP platform and they set up their Automatic Updates to do patches to the thing as data comes in. That strikes me as targeting existing OS’s and future OS.

    IE6 users would have to manually download the thing but then Automatic Updates takes over and patches it like it would IE6.

    I don’t know but when Firefox 2 has a “Powered by Google” running GoogleOS 1.0 then we should be nervous.

  10. I plan on dedicating a future TITMT to the whole Macs vs. PCs debate. Gotta get the geeks to come out of the woodwork sometime!

    Thanks for the recommendation- it seems like a top notch gossip blog:)
