Love the laser. Loads totally quickly (but I also often just read in bloglines). Am sorry to be replying late. Have been camping and am behind. I’m sure I’ll have other pithy information to give you as I catch up on all the SATGS posts. (BTW, you ever just drop the T and go by SAGS? That would hit too close to home for me.)

When I was getting very slow loading times recently, it was Flickr that my computer was hanging up on — which I assume was a problem with the photos under your header. (Camino shows me what site it’s currently trying to contact, even if that’s not the site I’m actually visiting at the moment.) I had my browser set to only display Flash animations once on any given page, so your header was definitely not the problem for me.

That said, if you think it may be a problem for others, you might change your own settings so the animation only happens once and is static thereafter. Then we wouldn’t lose the awe-inspiring laser beams and exploding head, but you could still see if that improved load times for some people. Anyone who wants to see it again and again could just sit on your site pressing refresh all day.

Not that I would ever do that.

I am concerned about why I am still a tree. I don’t worry about no stinkin’ lasers and esq’s, yo.

I have never had trouble with pages loading too slowly. Hmmmm… (The lasers are rad.)

The header is cool. The esq. is indeed, as people said, indicative of lawyering.

I love everything about your header, but the laser eyes most of all. I hope they get to stay!

i never had a problem with your site loading until you revamped it–what was that? a month or so ago? there must be something other than the laser eyes–which i vote for keeping–afoot.

i don’t know if this helps, but at home (where i have broadband, and i very new imac) i have trouble loading you and vodkarella…at work, where i use a million-year-ol p.c. which takes 3 minutes just to open microsoft word…i have no problem with either page.

also, as might be obvious right now, i have no idea what i’m talking about. just sharing my experience.

p.s.
KEEP THE LASERS!!!

How could you possibly ditch the lasers? Ain’t no WAAAY. After spending time with you in Chicago I’m even more certain that a laser is a great metaphor for your energy and humor. GO for it….

Have had no problem, but I agree with raine, its prob. something with all your content, and where its coming from.

Whoa– I didn’t understand a WORD of what Raine said but next time I have a problem that’s who I’m writing.

The lasers are way cool. Plus, they show boys the way they really are. I should add three sets to MY page instead of having the boys look all angelic and shit.
