Whistle Stops – 08/22/08

Whistle Stops are conversations, eye-openers, or tools representing the
brain train discovered while traveling along the Convers sphere.  From
business to education, lifehack to giving back, these are the posts and
links that have in some way grabbed my attention!

• Visual Thinking, Logic & Emotion Style by David Armano: A great library of visuals helping to make the complex simple.
