I happened upon a Simpson's episode the other day that, despite having nothing to do with User Experience, made me think of a common experience in web applications. The episode in question is called The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace. The basic plot of the episode is that Homer realizes that he hasn't done much in his life and decides to be an inventor. Obviously, many funny gags follow. The thing that prompted this blog entry was one of Homer's inventions. He called it the "Everything's ok alarm". Basically it beeps loudly every three seconds unless something isn't ok.
