"This icon says more about me than it does about my web page"

The whole idea of the web as a place which is "under construction" is getting very old. Don't believe me? Try this simple exercise. Face away from your computer, clear your mind, and slowly, carefully ask yourself .

See, with just a little thinking, you realize that the imagery of "under construction" icons on web pages is just some cute little joke which has, for no good reason, gone completely out of control. Time to quit it.

 

"Yea, so this page isn't finished; what did you expect? But hey, isn't this picture totally rad?

I have high standards for my work. So high, in fact, that no matter how much I work on this page, I'm never quite happy with it. Like everyone else, I resort to using an under construction icon. But you can bet your socks that my icon looks fancier and shinier than your icon!
