Ninite I actually made a customized install program to keep on a thumb drive for future use using Ninite. Incredibly useful idea and great execution. 2. Lauren Zalaznick on the conscience of television It’s a really interesting idea. 3. Gandhi’s seven deadly sins “Seven Deadly Sins: Thoughtful stuff. 4. Martin Lindstrom on how Whole Foods (and other grocers) prime you to shop The use of Whole Foods specifically here is a great choice, revealing how they’re not really very different from any other grocery chain. 5.

Montapert Our success relies on making a lot of tough choices that lead us down a path to something greater. 6. Steven Johnson on the source of good ideas With my closest friends, I usually try to talk about the things that challenge me the most – issues of politics and religion and parenting.
