The Occasional Recurring LabKitty Phone Browsing Announcement

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 (at least last time I checked).

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. 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!
