Links by Friday 020 - Why Elixir
It's April, the solar total eclipse has happened, Ramadhan is over, Automattic acquired Beeper not long after they acquired Texts.com, there's so much happening in the world. So why should you care about Elixir?

Shogun's Visual Style
I've been watching the Tv show, Shogun and I think it's pretty good. I am a bit biased because I also watch Anime and read Manga and studied the Japanese language on Duolingo for almost a year. I love Japanese culture. So that's my bias.
To be honest I've not noticed these visual issues people are complaining about and knowing about it now will not remove from my enjoyment of the show and its story.
Shōgun’s Visual Style
The limitations of TV’s style bandwidth.
That's it, see you next time.
