Our wings are not tired

We had a Roomba named Bender until our cat Bryon peed all over it.

I hope my cats don't get any ideas.

Wait? Kindles can cruise the web?

Hey. New board.

Wait? Kindles can cruise the web?

A bit slowly, but yes. Not bad for smallish text-based pages.

It is sort of like cruising the web on my phone, but, um, slower. I did figure out my mystery-- I had to click near the top of the page to change my settings instead of going to "settings"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Optional HTML tags.

I refuse to believe the world is a better place for the omission of t /td . Tables are bad enough already. They help to be sure of what was intended.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yeah, your code might look leaner, but it's a lot more unreadable. Seems like omitting those tags would make debugging way more difficult.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Yoiks! I wouldn't be happy omitting all of those for the simple fact there are still people out there with browsers that would go haywire with the omissions.
