Links of Interest Volume 3

It’s time for another installment of Links of Interest, the weekend edition of Everything Is History. In this issue, we have some typographical history, some xbox live history, a letter from a jilted lover, among other things. As usual, if the title is self-explanatory, there is no description. Happy surfing!
