Some people need to be shot, or severely beaten.

It’s 2:45am and I’m letting my wife get some sleep without my snoring keeping her awake all night. I have the volume set at a reasonably low level, just enough to hear videos or some music without straining myself, but not loud enough to disturb anyone.

So, as I’m surfing The World Wide Weird, I run across a blog which may have been tolerable had I gotten past the first few sentences before the most annoying music comes screeching from my speakers. I wanted to rip my ears off, and trying to find the volume control for whatever plugin this guy was using, proved pointless as I couldn’t find the damn thing.

Thankfully, my wife is still sleeping. That crap sure rattled the cat though, I’m sitting here getting the evil eye. He must think I’m the devil. Probably interrupted a good dream, now he’s gotta start chasing the mouse all over again.

The point is, unless I’m specifically clicking on an audio or video link, or browsing sites where one would expect to hear sound, Keep it turned off! If I want to hear your yuppie crap music, I’ll click the damn play button, I swear.

While I’m at it, PLEASE pick a background color that’s a bit duller than neon yellow. In the span of two sites, I was almost deaf and blind.

Now, it’s 3:00am and time for sleep.
