Complaining about broken website conventions while simultaneously breaking them yourself is either ironic or hypocritical, depending on your mood.

The author's webpage has a "x Kudos" vibrating image on the right and side, and if you hover over the image then the page sends a "like" HTTP message to the server. So now hovering my mouse over an element just had me like the author's page. That is way worse than a link with a broken image.
