December 26th: Weekly Design Links
“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” ― Winston S. Churchill
This is the last weekly design links post of 2017 and with it comes some sense of accomplishment. Putting this together every week isn’t always fun. Sometimes it’s Monday (previously Sunday) night and I’m struggling to get this together before I go to bed. I’m a late night owl, not an early bird, so these generally get finished around 2 AM. 64 weeks straight is something to be proud of. That means that I spend too much time on the internet or (hopefully) that I’m finding a way of digesting, and filtering the chaos into something better–and sharing that here with you all.
I will continue this for the foreseeable future, but I’ve got some big commitments aligning in 2018 and that future gets blurry sometimes as I look ahead. Thanks to everyone who has followed my efforts and writings here on Medium. If there are things you want to see more of (and less of) please let me know. Early Happy New Year and here’s to all the amazing new work next year. Take a few days off will ya!
