I'm curious: why link to the print version of an article about design? Deliberate irony?

Here's the design-included link: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/141/a-modern-mess.html

If nothing else, I learned a new word today ('ethonomics'), by tracking back to the main page.

That's funny you ask - I did think for a second about which link to provide. I went with the print version because the article is six pages long and I prefer not to have my reading interrupted. But that's me.

Maybe ask Jason Fried: http://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/6373239390

Agreed. We have so much bandwidth and computing power that most of will see either copy at the same time. Besides, I like seeing the design of the site and article photographs, they set a tone.
