217) Simply Education



A lot of love for Google this week. Today, a fantastic education piece in the form of an interactive online book called, "20 Things I Learned About Browsers and The Web." We use the Internet everyday in this age of techno-digi innovation, yet only a small sliver of us are able to define it and its components (browsers, cloud computing, web apps, web programming languages, privacy, security, HTML and open source). It's like a collection of abstract concepts that are so above the layperson's head, that we can just float along, pretending to understand because no one really understands (myself included).

Enter Google and award-winning German illustrator and children’s author Christoph Niemann's whimsical illustrations. I adore the idea of brands putting content out into the world purely for the sake of education.

(Mini aside - Long week that went by at lightspeed, thanks to the daily go-go at the agency. Feels so good to be working again. Looking forward to a leisurely weekend. In general, feeling great about slowly but surely making everything I wanted happen for myself in NY, and about the move in general.)
