This post is from one of several previous incarnations of this site and probably doesn’t quite fit the current format. In a former life this was a group blog and a tumblelog before it became a static jekyll site. If anything looks broken or is worded oddly that could be why. Pardon the dust.
Apparently I’m not the only one who hates TinyURL and pals. The founder of del.icio.us expresses his distaste for them over at Hacker News.
