If you were one of my students, it is at this point I'd ask you compare your observations with a peer. This time however, we are both learners, so you can compare your notes with mine:.

Monday, 15 October 2012. If there’s an attitude that I want this blog to encompass, it’s right here in this infographic:. Information Graphics by Sandra Rendgren (Taschen).

A Distraction of Collective Nouns. Tuesday, 5 May 2015. The best thing about living in Costa Rica is the nature.
