The Occasional Recurring LabKitty Mobile Browser PSA

This is a public service announcement. With guitars! Okay, no guitars. Let's focus on the first part.

Those of you visiting LabKitty on your phone (approximately 60%, according to Google analytics) while pooping (94%, ibid.) likely do not experience the full LabKitty website blog experience. In short, LabKitty on mobile is mostly awful. (Update: LabKitty on mobile is now somewhat less awful, because I spent the last month hand-tweaking the CSS in all the posts. Yay me.) One would think a fancy Internet company like Google would be able to get their auto-formatting on better terms with your eyeballs, especially given the amount of uninvited HTML Blogger inserts into your posts behind the scenes, which makes a Trump NDA positively spartan by comparison.



No such luck. One day when I finish a Ph.D. in CSS, I will customize LabKitty so that all visitors everywhere enjoy a quality viewing experience, whether viewing on a Commodore 64 or one of those new iPhones you plug directly into your amygdala. (Pro-tip: You currently get a much better mobile experience if you switch to the desktop version and do the two-finger pinchy thing to resize). In the meantime, I have been breaking out some of my amusing/useful posts as satellite blogs to which simpler (read: phone-friendly) formatting can be applied. The difficulty is their links are in my sidebar WHICH THE GORRAM BLOGGER MOBILE BROWSER VERSION DOESN'T SHOW.

So, surrendering to the hubris that you, flaxen visitor, might enjoy some of these efforts, I list links to them below, in embarrassingly large font for easy click making doing.

Currently there are five six seven. Here they are, in no particular order:

Quiz yoself. Pro-tip: go landscape.

Zombie Apocalypse Individual Life Outcome Simulator. Can you last a year?

Re-live your halcyon days at the boardwalk making spinart! In Javascript! Exclamation points!

A Javascript orrery of the solar system. Where is the world today?

Find your inner protagonist.

Pattern matching using matrix operations. Work your little garter snake brain into a mighty think-python!
