I for one fear change....

I meant to post this awhile ago... but, I'm lazy.  I don't like change. I am so reactionary that Metternich told me "Dude, you gotta chill"

Obviously no one knows who this Metternich is
But he also obviously is probably a better option at 3rd base than the one the Giants end up with.

Re: I for one fear change....
I'm kind of angry that i knew exactly who Metternich was.

Re: I for one fear change....
I couldn't really remember, but I did immediately link his name with Castlereagh (without being able to say who Castlereagh was either).

Of course, thanks to Wikipedia I am now at least vaguely familiar with all sorts of unverified facts about both of them.

Re: I for one fear change....
oh yeah, Castlereagh.  he was the asshole that nobody liked because he wanted to suspend Habeas Corpus.

Re: I for one fear change....
I hope the Brand New and Improved McCovey Chronicles includes a Kenshin-blocking feature. Man, I hate that guy. ;)

The redesign will probably shock us for a few days (initial trouble navigating), depress us for a week (most of us prefer the familiar to the new -- I know I do) and then after a while we'll all just get used to it, or become resigned to our fate. Interestingly, this process will be repeated once the Giants season begins.

Re: I for one fear change....
Shhh, Kenshin doesn't know know about the "Ban Kenshin" campaign page.  Once enough people have pledged enough dollars, we'll be rid of him.

Have you visited the page lately, the tracking themometer is really rising!

Re: I for one fear change....
I'm in beta testing right now. It really isn't going to be a huge learning curve. The new features are going to be pretty sweet, though.

It's a different look, for sure, and that's what's bugging me right now.  Then I'll get used to it. Then I'll forget what this format looked like.

Re: I'll forget what this ....
You know how nobody remembers what facebook used to look like?

The McChronicles will be like that.

Re: I'll forget what this ....
It looks different than it did when I signed up in like 2004.  They made the change...uh...last year, maybe?  I dunno.

But it's different.

Bah.
I hate change.

But I love seeing others distressed by change.

The whole thing is a curate's egg.
