Auld Lang Syne (Patreon)

Welp, it's the end of 2017.  What a year for the world news-wise, but I'm not gonna talk about that right now, juuuuust gonna talk about you and me.

I'm deeply grateful – 2017 was the first year where my entire income came from kind, generous supporters like you!  (In previous years, I supplemented myself with random contract work)  And with your help, here's all the stuff I created this year:

March 2017: LOOPY, a tool for thinking in systems

June 2017: Fireflies, a short simulation about emergence

July 2017: The Evolution of Trust, an interactive guide to the game theory of trust

Aug 2017: Seeing Whole Systems, my Long Now talk about complexity

Sep 2017: The new Explorable Explanations website 

Dec 2017: Joy.js, a tool for making happy little programs

And in 2017, this Patreon finally reached a level that covers all my living expenses.  That's a huge deal, and, I still get a bit misty-eyed thinking – holy crap, people actually like me and my work enough to help me live.  So: truly, deeply, thank you all.  :tears of joy emoji:

See you peeps later in 2018!
