2017 Roundup: September to December

Last year we ran Roundup posts: for Jan-Apr 2016, May-Aug 2016, and Sep-Dec 2016. The idea is just to highlight the better or more perennial posts that new readers may have missed and old-timers may want to re-read.

This month we ran the first Roundup post for 2017: January to April and the second one for 2017: May to August.

Today we’ll take a look at the last four months of the year. Regular readers should remember a lot of these!
