Another week, another set of links (or remainders as some call them)…

1. I love the AR platform. I think they are one of the neatest rifles I’ve ever shot. The .458 SOCOM cartridge appears to offer a set of characteristics that take the AR-15 platform to a different place in the hunting spectrum. I like this.
2. This article by Rich Adin (reprinted on the Teleread website) is thoughtful and strikes an interesting point I’ve noticed in books over the last few years.
3. The Que might be the device.
4. Maybe it’s time.
5. This is a great clip of David Allen on GTD and the cloud.
6. These principles from Bob Parsons (GoDaddy.com) are very good. Whatever you think if Parsons’ style, he’s a damn-smart man.
7. Typography (the setting of type) is an important subject for me. I’m interested in producing good-looking text, as well as good text. This article from Smashing Magazine in an interesting look at some data collected from websites.
8. The Refractive Thinker is interesting. I’ll be reading more… However, when you get past the landing page to this page the quality of the website deteriorates. At least, it does not render well with Safari. This is not good.
9. Typography is a favorite subject. This is good.
