A few of my favorite things seen around the Interwebs recently

Sometimes I find myself keeping a browser tab open because I want to look at it one more time. In the interest of tab tidiness and also sharing, here are some interesting things I’ve read on the internet lately:

Toiling Toward Mastery – an essay  by Erin Mickelson about the “lifelong exercise in patience, and paring design elements down to their most essential forms”.

Susie Short for Daniel Smith on working with a split-primary color palette.

An introduction to “the ancestors of the Book of Kells”, four 5th/6th-century Irish manuscripts that have been repaired and digitized. I wanted a better look, so I went looking. Trinity College Dublin has more information, specifically here and here.

And, for those of us who love libraries, this post about photographer Thibaud Poirier who has traveled the world to photograph the world’s incredible libraries. Via Colossal.
