Thoughts on Portland's Responsive Field Day

It’s a small thing, but sometimes, the small things just make life a little better.

2 Jul 2013
Back at the end of May, I went to the 2013 Webvisions Conference. I had decided that I would use the conference as an opportunity to take some “Sketchnotes” and post them to the blog as my contribution of what I learned at WVs this year. My post last month was on “The Art of Explanation by Lee LeFever”. This month, I have 2 new sketch notes that I have uploaded. .
