Has anyone else come across the pop-up animated ad for the new Hulk movie? The screen shakes, there’s a roar, and it’s impossible to close or type anything until the video starts to play. Why do advertisers still think making the Internet more difficult to use is a good way to sell product?

My boss is out of the country in Italy. Someone who knows this sent him an e-mail late yesterday asking him to complete a form and send it back today. I cannot complete the form on my own, and there is a six-hour time difference between here and Italy that makes contacting my boss somewhat difficult. When I called, his hotel suggested I try again at seven o’clock their time. The person who sent the e-mail is also unavailable and will apparently remain so until at least two o’clock our time. E-mail sent to the address specified bounces back.
None of this, I realize, is particularly important or interesting. I’m just venting.
