Normally I believe that background audio on a web page is annoying, because you can't stop it, and it's usually really crappy MIDI songs. But Elizabeth has snagged a short audio clip of Dorothy laughing, and we've put it as the background audio on the main page of the blog.
We're wondering: Can you hear it? Is it really annoying? Should we remove it? Or does it bring a smile to your face no matter how often you hear it?

Posted by: Seth Matheson at July 6, 2005 04:34 AMI also read everything through RSS, and also agree that it's a very cute laugh, but I dislike any forced audio on a web page. Rather than forcing it to play when the page is loaded, why not make a "Hear Dorothy" button? You could include her laughing and any other random sounds that you record, and those of us who are far away could click to the site at our discretion and hear her voice or her laugh.
