An ongoing series . . .

Among the things that annoy me are blogs that decide to go video (as a full vlog, or producing "shows" of greater or lesser lameness using easily available cameras and microphones and stuff), apparently on the theory that people have nothing better to do than spend hours and hours sitting and watching whatever silly-a$$ interview or commentary that they're all hot-to-trot to post.

A hint to those sites: provide a text transcript, or don't bother. I don't watch video via the Internet as a rule unless I have a really, really good reason to do so. Otherwise, I have better things to do with my time--like going to some other site that I can read, scan, browse.

I learned to read for a reason, people. I like reading information on the Internet. Watching it? Not so much. Maybe I'm just a stick-in-the-mud, reactionary fuddy-duddy, but give me readable text articles, or give me death!
