Thanks to everyone who suggested links in comments and on delicious.
Thanks for changing the stylesheet so that links are visible (underlined) to colorblind folks!
Kudos to Terri for agitating for a fix for this, and our Theme Wrangler tigtog for getting stuck into it.
Shopping is hard! Let’s do math!

OMg. I love love love that A Softer World comic – thank you so much for that link. I might even buy a print. It’s kind of perfect.
Kotaku actually syndicated that top 10 list from GamingAngels.com, which is where the article originally appeared. However, Kotaku forgot to, or neglected to link to the original article. The post on Border House references the original article. :)
Thanks, updated the post.
