Weekly Design Links – 08/29/23

If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a formula for these posts. Yes, the work changes. I also have my personal tastes which come through quite clearly at times. You’ll notice another Atari link in this week’s content. I have a soft spot for Atari–100% true. I always try and mix up the disciplines. I do work in product design (or UX, depending on how you define all of that), so yeah–there’s often a heavy emphasis on that content. I will swerve, and show none of that some weeks. There is a formula. The formula is to find cool stuff to share with you all. Now you know my secrets.
