What does your website look like to me?

The image above is what the website of Inventory magazine looks like, to me. Like many others, I generally block Flash using Flashblock. Most Flash is an intrusion, and it slows up my machine and uses resources I could use to keep more tabs open… Yes, I can choose to see what is in Flash. Why [...]
