Well, this is it, the big 50. The Weekly Links have been going on for close to a year now and it has become one of my favorites pieces of this blog. Even though I am on vacation, I thought I would take the time to drop the links for you - albeit a bit late.

Nevertheless, please enjoy the links while I enjoy my vacation.

Enjoy the links.

This blog has been going through quite a metamorphosis in the past few months as I continue to look for that “right place”. I am personally becoming much less interested in the nuances of front-end programming and much more fascinated with the 50,000 foot view of design on the web, the inner-workings of web communities and the future of media in the internet-age. I will begin to focus much more thought and writing towards these sorts of subjects and spend much less time on subjects such as web development and even Flash to a certain extent.

I have been putting a lot of time and thought into web community, media and how people interact with them and I feel I have a lot to share. In addition, my hope is to begin moving out of the trenches of design/development and start becoming more involved in these subjects in my career as well. This shift is fairly easy to do in a blog, but not so easy to do in my career. My hope is that this thinking and writing I do on the subject will act as a catalyst for my own personal growth.

This blog has been an unbelievable channel of learning for myself since day one. I cannot wait to see what people teach me in the upcoming months. I am really looking forward to a change of topical venue - I hope you are as well.design, evolution, flash, nerd, programming, user experience, web communities writing

There are a ton of article-based links for you this week. Honestly, this has to be the most unbalanced collection of any week that I can remember. Still, nothing be good clicks for you readers. I have to say, the twisted humor I possess loves the The Nietzsche Family Circus site - truly genius! My good friends Sergio and Kimmy had two very good articles as well - well worth the read.

Enjoy the links.
