Blue
Blue? Last week it was colours! Are you MAD? Apparently so. Where to start today? Google seemed a kickoff point with variety. I spent ages reading the wikipedia blue.

Education
Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.- Nelson Mandela I’ve been thinking about what actually is education. Is it passing exams, learning lots of facts, learning skills? I suspect real education is about learning skills. First learning to read, write, to do basic arithmetic. Useful tools for what comes […]
