Oh, yes. When I was an undergraduate in math at Berkeley I worked in the math library. We had multiple copies of the complete works of Bourbaki (ten or fifteen volumes, three copies each). This group was very important in standardizing math terminology among other things. Graduate students checked those out very frequently. Their choice of math terms appears to be very "Franch" e.g. "surjective" for "onto".

Silly me; I just discovered that Nicolas Bourbaki — despite publishing numerous papers and authoring a classical math text, inventor of injective, surjective, and bijective functions — did not exist (at least as an individual person).

Ok, there are various mathematician's blogs, but this one is pretty up front with how she thinks.
I particularly appreciate her ability to illustrate her thought processes with diagrams.
For examples, I was particularly fond of

I liked the illustrations of more basic stuff as well.
For another less, um, colorful reference, I'd direct you to "Drawing Theories Apart", by David Kaiser.
Haven't gone into it much, and I doubt it addresses your question as much as the other links,
Enjoy!

The following is a simplistic article about how mathematicians think.
I find the idea behind the article interesting and, when I have time, will follow up trying to find 'real' stuff to read. But, if any of you are feeling generous and would supply me with some pointers or directions; I will really appreciate it.
