One of my new vices is watching the home improvement shows on HGTV. Heather and I are working out the home improvements/renovations we want to get done this year, and the shows we have been watching have been pretty helpful with that.

So lets break down the scenario. I am watching Color Splash this afternoon and decide that I really dig the technique of attaching translucent colored plastic to cabinetry. We want to do something to freshen up our kitchen and that would be a great, inexpensive way to do it.

What's the first thing I do? I go to the page for said show on HGTV to find out the name, and hopefully the website of the product they used. Seems simple, no? Thankfully for this show, yes it is simple. There are links to the websites for the products used in the show.

However while watching Divine Design, the worst named show ever, I saw something I would like to have in our house. So I jumped on the website, to get a listing of materials used. Nowhere on the blasted site is there a materials list, or links to the sites of the products used in the current episode.

Do we really need to still explain to people in corporate america what the web is actually useful for? Are they not teaching consistency to people anymore?

Bah.
