This Week’s Weekly Links of the Week - Week 1
18.05.06 @ 9:00 am
I have been wanting a place to drop interesting links on my blog on things that tickle my fancy. At this point, there is no place in my blog to do this which I am honestly fine with as I want this site to be concise and focused. That being said, I thought it may be a good idea to bring back something I used to do pre-somerandomdude: Have a link(s) post on a weekly(ish) basis. It may be one link with some discussion, a collection of links on a particular topic or just your basic random list of links. Participation is not only welcome, it is highly desired.
So, onto the links!
- Design Magazines Online - Functioning Form
- Ironically, the first link in this list is a link to a list of links… Try saying that fast five times. I try to frequent many of these online design mags as often as possible - this really is a very comprehensive and well put together compilation of links.
- Design Writing Research
- I could spend hours at this site endlessly reading such great design articles. This one is a must-bookmark.
- Design Crisis - Andy Rutledge
- I love this guy. I simultaneously agree and disagree vehemently with this article as well as many others he has written - a testament to Andy’s ideas and writing. His article touches on the subject of design trends which I wrote about around the same time. Definitely worth a read.
- The Art of Not Giving a Shit - Steve Tucker
- Speaking of design trends, here is another article on the same subject. Another post well worth the time to read.
- Javascript Tetris - Dustin Diaz
- You know the rule - if something can be done, someone will do it. Seriously, this is some fine work by Mr. Diaz.
- MacBook Review - CNET
- I really do not see how my wife and I will not be getting one (or two) of these eventually. After seeing how much more you get for just $100 more than an iBook, it is hard to keep the money in your wallet.
- 9Rules Round 4 Has Finished - 9Rules
- It will be interesting to see who gets chosen.
Well, that is it for this week. I have kept it pretty generic this time. If anyone has any particular topics they would like to have addressed, let me know.

Yeah, I missed it as well. Instead of dropping a link sporadically, I will just compile a list through the week and post it whenever I feel the list is comprehensive enough. Plus, this will make it easier to post at least once a week if I am having a hard time thinking of a topic.
Talk about killing several birds with one stone.

Some great links there. I particularly liked the Design Crisis article by Andy Rutledge and spent best part of an hour getting level 14 on tetris! Cheers mate
