<p>Paul Downey  &#8211; also known as @psd &#8211;  has done another one of his pen &amp; ink masterpieces conveying the importance of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier">URI</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll admit to my shame, than it wan&#8217;t until I started reading some of Paul&#8217;s stuff on <a href="http://blog.whatfettle.com/2007/01/11/good-web-apis-are-just-web-sites/">Web APIs</a> that I even realised what URIs were.</p>
<p>Of course, I soon learned how to identify a <a href="http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI">Cool UR</a>I thanks to <a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/">Tim Berners-Lee</a></p>
<p>This shows shows the perils of ignoring the virtues of the URI&#8230;</p>
<p>You can get a clean high-resolution <a title="PDF of TUITT" href="http://www.archive.org/details/TheUriIsTheThing">PDF</a> from archive.org, and <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/psd/2918889380/">see the annotated copy</a> at Flickr</p>
