Week Links is a collection of some of my favourite links from around the web that I stumbled upon during the past week. You may already be familiar with some of them, but I think they’re worth checking out if you haven’t already.
The Oatmeal Lawsuit/Fundraiser
I’m not even going to attempt to explain this one. Just follow the link and read the sordid tale for yourself.
Despite the occasional misstep (Cars 2) Pixar remains one of the most inventive studios, with consistently strong stories. This week i09 released Pixar's own rules for how to tell a great story, and they're an interesting read for anyone who has ever been interested in creative writing.
Internet Explorer Tax
An Australian website has begun to add a tax to any purchases made using Internet Explorer 7. Even though it is nearly 6 years old and has two free upgrades available, as well as modern versions of competing browsers, some people refuse, or are just too lazy, to update. Because IE 7 uses older web standards, it takes additional time and money for websites to be designed and maintained to run acceptably on it. To try to compensate, this site has added a tax of 0.01% for each day since Internet Explorer 7 was released. No matter which browser you prefer, take the 10 seconds required to update it to the current version. You'll enjoy more features and better security, and it's free.
Sleep well,
