Snow

Let it snow! I’ve lived in the Midwestern U.S. all my life and my opinion is that if it’s going to be cold, there might as well be snow. Snow is peaceful, beautiful and fun. Let’s learn more about it, shall we?

About
di4ent is an experiment. It's a collection of topical rotating wunderkammeresque distractions and delights. In other words, every month I'll choose four topics that I'd like to learn more about, or that I already find interesting and want to explore. Every weekday there will be a new post in each of the four topics. I decided to start it to give form and aim to my endless online wanderings. Plus I just like creating work for myself. So, I guess it's an online experiment in learning, linking, research and wasting time.
