December 4th: Weekly Design Links

“I was never more hated than when I tried to be honest. Or when, even as just now I’ve tried to articulate exactly what I felt to be the truth. No one was satisfied” ― Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

It’s December, about 20 days until the new year. I realize that I’ve been writing about this change of date a lot over the last few posts and months. It might seem like I have something in mind–like a plan. No, I’m not big on the arbitrary date change. I don’t do new year’s resolutions. I do make changes in my life. I try and do that all the time, not only in January.
