I received an email the other day from a fan (?) who made it known their desire to see more blinking text. Well, far be it from ME to deny someone something they desire...especially when it's such an easy request to accommodate. To that end, this page has been created. I dedicate this ALL BLINKING PAGE to _______ (prefers to remain anonymous at this time. If that should change, we will let you know). In the meantime, Consider those pages WITHOUT blinking text. Very boring. Many of us using the Net feel the need for some kind of special touch to each web page we visit. Blinking text can add that special touch. Some folks would say that this ENTIRE PAGE of blinking text is a bit much. I personally take issue with that. Who's Internet is it? It's MY INTERNET. And if I feel the need for an entire page of blinking text, well then, so be it.

I think it's important to be a pioneer. Some people walk on the moon...some people build the largest software conglomerate in the world and try to dictate to the rest of us exactly how our hours at the computer will be spent...how far our software dollar will go... exactly what operating system we will and will not be able to use. How many "features" we "need" on our browsers before someone comes along and says "STOP WITH THE FEATURES!" Those people are pioneers of another sort. I'm talking about taking risks. I'm talking about being first with something that others will not warm up to instantly, but given time will realize that an entire page of blinking text has it place in the world. If nothing else, by simply being the Internet's FIRST ENTIRELY BLINKING PAGE OF TEXT.

Think of it this way: There may come a day when our brains evolve to the point where we can grasp the contents of an entire page IN ONE QUICK BLINK. It's possible, you know. How will we ever know if we don't try?

In fact, let this page be an INTERNET EXPERIMENT. I urge you to try and grasp the contents of this page in one blink. Go ahead. Try it. What have you got to lose? Image this scenario: Many thousands of years ago, one man somewhere decided to go against convention and eat the first mushroom. Now, given the fact that 95% of the mushrooms on the planet are deadly, the chances of this person dying were pretty good. So, he/she died. But there was someone else in the evolutionary lineage who stood up and said "I too shall eat a mushroom" And that person probably died too. Only after many mushrooms and many, many deaths, did we figure out that mushrooms--the CORRECT mushrooms--can be very tasty and can add a certain zing to any meal. Think of this ENTIRE PAGE OF BLINKING TEXT in that light.

So, a few people go blind trying to grasp the essence of this page in one quick blink. Eventually, someone will figure out how to do it and mankind will be better off for perfecting this most important skill. So what if a few people go cross-eyed in the process? The human species benefits in the long run.

So, If you find this page annoying, tell your friends. Eventually, we'll find that one person who can actually grasp the meaning of this page in one blink and the world will be a better place.

Please email me with your thoughts on the important experiment.


Thank you,
