Reading or Read: 2018

I'm going to be continuing to blog on  communication-related and user interface design topics for Learning Tree International. Because I worry about "conflict of interest" kinds of things, I'll be shuttering this blog on communication topics until Learning Tree realizes that I'm not worth spending money on.
