Weekly Design Links — 08/18/20

“Every act of perception, is to some degree an act of creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination.”―Oliver Sacks, Musicophilia: La musique, le cerveau et nous

It’s hard to come up with words to wrap around a batch of links lately. I have this process down–it’s very routine now after years. I know what I’m looking for, what I like and how I want to curate the list. The mechanics are simple and it works. The difficult part is this here, coming up with some clever words to put a bow on it. Some weeks are easier than others. Once in a while, I just cop out and let the quote do the work. I’ve debated dropping all of the pretense and just losing the intro paragraph all together. I haven’t done that yet. Not just yet. Ok, it’s time for the links.
