Comment on Top Web Design Mistakes of 1999

I don't know if I should praise the author's insight or scorn the rest of the world for not moving beyond these mistakes.

I'm just kidding... I know scorn is the right option.

Maybe because we live in a world where Jakob Nielsen[1] is referred to by the generic "the author." Not a good sign.

No scorn directed at you, just making a point that his myriad work should be ingrained into anyone building for the web.

The picture in that link has the strangest quality - he looks like he's a young person that has undergone some Hollywood makeup magic to make him look older. Maybe it's something about the light or his skin or something that makes my brain assume that someone just dyed a young person's hair grey. Very strange.
