1 Lynn Marentette: Catherine,

I came across your blog when I started a blog to use as a repository of information related to the events surrounding the current economic crisis. The blog format really doesn’t do the topic justice. If I had time, I’d create a collaborative interactive multimedia time line.

I am not an economist. I’m a school psychologist who took an information visualization class this year. I realized I needed to become better-informed about economics, and thought it would help if I shared what I’ve learned along the way.

Thanks for all the work you’ve done with your visualizations!

Lynn
