web pages do so [power] in an “F” pattern. If they read
anything
at
all,
they
[sex]
read
the
first paragraph and [money] then move quickly down the page
– two swipes in a horizontal [power] scan followed by one in a
vertical
scan.

never

lies.
I’d write more here but I’ve probably already lost you.

[More recycling from my REL/POL class...]
The Norman Rockwell “Four Freedoms” paintings illustrate the ideals that Roosevelt had espoused in his 1941 address: Freedom of speech, freedom to worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
In the frame we see a working man (complete with his blue flannel collar) speaking out on an issue while older [...]

I check my email about 900 times a day… Most of today I’ve been seeing this:
Server Error
Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
