June 18th: Weekly Design Links

“An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.” ― Niels Bohr

It’s been a long time since I wrote more than an intro to a links post. But finally, yesterday I published an article titled, ‘How Not To Apply for a Design Job’. I told myself a while ago, that I should be writing more and I haven’t been consistent in that effort (aside from these link posts). The post from yesterday has been viewed at least five times as much as my average links post–and it’s been less than twenty four hours. Let’s see if I learn a lesson, if I remember this and don’t wait over a year to post something new. And now, back to our regularly scheduled links…
