What happened to HTML? If this were formatted with web standards, I could resize the fonts, scroll with my browser's built-in preferred scrolling mechanisms that aren't chunky, laggy, and painful, and I could actually read it. I'm not the only one to comment on this, but apparently whoever did this page is dense enough about web standards that the point needs to be repeated. How do you run a VC and not get this? My opinion of Founders Fund has gone down.

Click link, see blank page, unblock Flash applet, struggle through reading a single paragraph with eye-gougingly atrocious font and mouse-crushingly stupid scroll functionality... then my head simply explodes from the irony of what I am experiencing and what I am reading. Close window.

Copy/Paste into Emacs. M-x Fill-Region (which breaks lines)

Enjoyably read article.

No kidding! The best part is, it's all so unnecessary! When I saw the blank page, I decided to have a peek at the source, an lo and behold, there's the essay! Copy it to a text editor, turn on dynamic word wrap, and... enjoy?

Firefox: view -> style -> No style

Disabling CSS dumps the unstructured page. You can also pay it a visit in a console-mode browser.

I'm (sadly) finding this to be increasingly necessary to view web pages (as an aggressive user of NoScript).

That's what I did too. Is there a browser this reads well in? Founders Fund should briefly forget about solving more important problems and just stop creating new usability ones.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to know what system they used to style their website? Maybe they developed it, but just in case I ask.

They appear to be using WordPress 3.0.3 with a custom Javascript based template called Founders Fund 2011.

The fancy animated graphs didn't survive cleanup.
