It's been a very long time since I missed a send day, but yesterday I spent most of the day traveling and passed out as soon as I got home. So apologies for sending a day late.

This goes out to all the "imposters" out there. I thought I'd share some cool visuals I came across to help you become a better "imposter".

Going to keep this weeks intro sweet and short as these visuals tell a 1000 words. Full credit to Janis Ozolins for creating them.

Now for this weeks issue ✌

If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs. 
Nowadays especially it's nice to have things to read. New things, things from various sources and various voices, various minds talking about their thoughts and experiences, telling their stories, posting pictures and things that are relevant to them.
