You may notice in the blog articles below, a little “W” icon next to some of the Wikipedia links, and a little film-strip icon next to some YouTube links. Those are placed by Apture, a blog-annotation service I’m beta-testing that allows you to preview that content without leaving the blog.

I kind of like it, but I’m still not sure if I like it enough to keep it. I like making the Wikipedia references more convenient to see, but I absolutely despise the “walled garden” approach to viewer retention, and I worry that this veers a little too far in that direction, so I may dismantle it in a few days or weeks.

If you have an opinion, or if it horribly breaks for you, let me know in the comments accompanying this post.

In the meantime, enjoy this movie of the Battle of Kruger and this unrelated article on hedgehogs.
