8 Web Design Warm Fuzzy Feelings. When I checked this blog’s design in IE for the first time and saw that I didn’t have anything to fix, I went to my fridge and had a beer. I don’t know if that will ever happen again.
You live in Japan and your internet is that slow? I thought you guys find 50mb/s free in cereal boxes.
