If you really want to go old school remove all the links and make a hotline for people to call in with comments or deliver a newspaper to everyone's house.
Because you're sitting in the room right behind me, Peter, my mouth was open to report this "glitch" to you ASAP. But as I read the explanation, I closed it. Nice. I'm not sure what I've gleaned from this tip to apply to my life in general (maybe that 2007 is way better than 1984 in most every way except for their respective "versions" of Michael Jackson?), but fun nonetheless!
Your right, we do need some sort of take away. Hum… lets just stick with that Michael Jackson bit. I will add the geeky takeaway: The only thing different about the site today from normal is that there is no CSS on the page. Most people don't know what CSS is. It stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and it's what makes a website go from what you see today, to what you'll be able to expect tomorrow when every thing's back to normal. And to Jason's point, CSS wasn't around in 1984, heck CSS wasn't even around in 1994.
Yes--crazy to think that the entire look of a site can be defined by one tiny text file in cyberspace. In the old days, we'd have to position all this stuff using tables, obscure invisible images and all that jazz.
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
