A Place For Ramblin' and Random Recordin'

Antihubris.com
We have spent quite a lot of time (way, way too
much!) trying to figure out a proper location for
jotting down and posting our random thoughts on
Hubris and Anti-Hubris - So many thoughts (as dumb as
they may be) quickly come and go.
We really, really wanted a place to post our thoughts before they float off into the ether, esp. given the ubiquity and intensity of hubris in every area of our modern world. There wasn’t anyplace in our site that seemed just right.
Then, a stroke of luck! We were musing on the subject when a squadron of the AntiHubris.com Stop The Diatribe Department happened upon us.
They told us that they would stop interrupting our wonderful diatribes in some of our favorite areas of the site (we think they want us to focus more on the Hubrometer), if two things occurred: 1. We change our outdated homepage & put our ramblings there; and 2. Redo the site’s layout – it looked very nice but the css and graphics made each page take a very long time to load, even with many of the types of broadband.
We really didn’t mind the first ultimatum of the Antihubris.com Stop the Diatribe Department, but their second demand… We spent so long on making the site look so very, very cool. Our first though was to simply purchase a super-hyper-ultra-high-speed Internet connection for everyone in the world.
When we proposed our brilliant idea to our treasurer, she passed out on the spot. After she explained the economics of our idea, we then proposed to redo the entire structure of the Internet to super-hyper-ultra-high-speed connections via tin cans & twine. Our treasurer told us that this idea was fine, but the expenses had to come out of our petty cash.
Everything from there on out seemed to be going very smooth, and then we hit a snag. It turns out that $3.67 doesn’t buy near enough tin cans or twine. What’s worse was that no “Computer Guru” or “Super Techie” could figure out how to get computers to utilize our new infrastructure.
Alas! We finally gave in to the Antihubris.com Stop The Diatribe Department’s second demand, and redid the site’s layout (the current one is just a momentary placeholder).
Besides these two alterations, the site is otherwise unaffected, so go & enjoy!
