Wednesday Linkfest

Here’s a gaggle of links for this week:

Take criticism like Trump. The weird thing about modeling anything on Trump is how random his decisions on his TV show often are.
The post windows era. Articles like this have been written for 15 years. The thing is Windows will be around for another 15 years, and will probably be a billion dollar business for that long just on inertia. Windows might be less relevant each year, but it will still sell. Frankly Windows has always been less relevant to people than the apps that run on it and that was true before the web.
Reality of a Times bestseller. People are really surprised by how little writers get paid, yet at the same time people have no hesitation borrowing or going to the library instead of paying money to get them.
Liner notes from the game Spore. This stuff is just cool – it’s a bit technical, but I always like behind the scenes stuff from people who were not the head honchos.
Your business card is crap. Beyond explanation. I just hope this is a joke.
Why discuss project failure?. Nice little list that dovetails well with why designers fail.
Great interview with David Simon, creator of the Wire, by Bill Moyer.
