Being fresh from a nice vacation, I do feel as if I have a whole new mind! I also spent my airplane time reading Daniel Pink‘s book A Whole New Mind. It was a great read and I’m not usually into reading business and strategy books. The main thesis really lends itself to my whole…

Edward Tufte – A Techy-Feely Practitioner
