      When contemporary buildings from the 60s and 70s (or earlier) are torn down or renovated for crappy traditional style buildings (see next rant).

      When architects design what are supposed to be "traditional" style buildings, but they get it wrong. With all the information out there, it's like misspelling your own name - it's just wrong!

      Beige E.I.F.S. Neither the material or the color is bad in itself, but it's used way too much. What's worse is when the building's entire color scheme is beige. BORING.

        To iGOR - my appologies..... my teenager comments were stereotypical. Now that I think about it - they apply to as many 20 somethings as they do teenagers. 😄

        Another thing that really pisses me off - the architects / developers / builders that create those huge monstrosity "contemporary" homes that all share the same flawed design features - you know which ones I'm talking about.

        1- Fake paladian round top window
        2- The 2 story "no detail - out of scale" columns that support a small dormer that covers only the entry.
        3- The 10 useless windows added to try and make the attached 6 car garage look like a wing of the house
        4- The excessively high roof ridge lines that I swear do nothing but add to roof shingle and wood truss sales quotas
        5- The use of 5 different (and often non-complimentary) front facade materials
        6- And my favorite one of all - the rediculous use of 6-8 fake dormers (1' or 2' deep)that create roofline upon roofline on the front of the house. 😒

                    i second the movement against above link. will those lawers take a chill pill and lessen up on copyright stuff? i mean seriously? illegal to travel with your ipod or laptop?!?!?! do you know what that would mean for the teenagers and bussiness men of the world? please dont let this be like when mp3's first came out and all the lawers were freaking out about copyright stuff and put DRM on everything. then everyone went to peer-to-peer services and the lawers got even more pissed. that pisses me off. and do you realize that if everyone would stop completely freaking out about copyrights, no one would try to pirate movies and make infingements. DUH

                    DRM = Digital Rights Management

                      Having to install crappy bits of proprietary software that mess up your computer for ever more to achieve seemingly simple things.

                      The culprit, steam. I just want to play a bit of geometry wars, a 30mb download, but you need steam first, a program entirely incapable of downloading a program without running constantly and somehow managing to take down an entire network while downloading the game. 😡

                                    Todays headlines from two sources:

                                    1st one is '75.000 starving kids in Ethiopia' and the other 'Teen obesity critical in US'

                                    Just f*cking crazy!
