I should say it's probably related to my ongoing computer problems, likely a combination of the damage done by a recent security software update, and also my use of dialup and lack of bandwith, rather than the site. (There's this one online comic strip that shuts me down nearly every time I go to it---did so earlier, too. I work around things when I can.)

It almost gave me a heart-attack! I clicked on it at work, and this voice started speaking from my computer. I was scrambling to find the speaker volume button. Of course, everybody at work pretty much knows I'm idioscyncratic anyway. But I couldn't think of anyway to explain that this relates in any way whatsoever to my day job. So I got home and then went all the way through. Does it change every day? I'm gonna have to bookmark this, it's too good.

Sorry, should have warned about the audio! It starts talking to you pretty much right away. Robert, I'm sure it's a combo of that audio loading + the graphics that blows your connection or browser or what have you. It's a bigger media load than many websites (this one, for instance.) But it's really hilarious - it's a phone key pad and a voice telling you to dial different numbers to get your characters out of (or into) jams.
I haven't looked through the whole site, but there's some really nifty content there that will *definitely* come in handy during Nano ... and any time I'm procrastinating writing, come to think of it.
