Skunkgal - Too Much Skunk In Your Junk

google shakeup

so “shakeup” might be exaggeration a little, but apparently people are up in arms about google’s new favicon (that little icon next to the URL. mine looks like an orange skunk). everyone has an opinion, and mine is that it rocks. google clearly heard about my anti-capitalization movement (use uppercase only if it’s required for clarity), and i support the move to simplicity. capital letters are only window dressing. spread the word.

speaking of favicons, two gripes:

1. google reader really needs to change theirs. it looks like an icon for some second-rate, pre-tetris children’s game. rounded corners? ick.

2. i HATE it when sites don’t have one. it makes my job really hard when my tab looks like this and all the icons are the same:
