I always enjoy whatever Joel Spolsky writes. Many of his posts deal with running a software business, and he offers lots neat insights. Recently he wrote about what he calls the mother of all flamewars that may be popping up on a web developer's forum near you. This would be interesting reading for anyone interested in understanding the problems with the new Internet Explorer 8 and Web standards. It is not so much a technical piece as an explanation of what is going wrong. I am pretty excited about the whole thing, I have not witnessed a good flamewar since people stopped caring so much about tables.

I am also watching Colorwar08 with interest in case it fans itself into something interesting. If you happen to be on Twitter and are looking for a strong, healthy color to support, you might consider following Team Scarlet. It will be the team to watch.
