Nike Hindsight by Billy May & Yanko Design Nike Hindsight Gives You Unparalleled Vision The urban jungle isn’t exactly the safest place for bicyclists. You need the right tools to keep you one step ahead of irresponsible motorists. They work similar to bifocals except for your peripheral vision. A rider’s clear benefit is in the early warning of approaching vehicles, but a less obvious advantage is reducing the necessary head rotation to check behind. Designer: Billy May

9 Tactics for Rapid Learning (That Most People Have Never Heard Of) &... Whenever the subject of why some people learn faster comes up, I get a whole host of common answers: Some people are just naturally smart.

13 Business Books That Will Blow Your Mind Having never taken a business class in college I find that I read and listen to a lot of business books to round out my education. The books usually aren't "How to Manage Your Cash Flow" but rather get me to rethink the way I run my business, which--despite no business classes or diploma--continues to be in business 13 plus years after I started it. In that time, here are 13 of the books that had the biggest impact on how I run my business (in no particular order): Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink: If you supervise anyone in your business, this book is a must read.

4 Places to Find Digital Signage Growth in a Down Economy | WireSpring Author: Bill Gerba on 2008-11-25 09:11:38 I spent part of last week in Chicago speaking at the Strategy Institute's "Building Your Digital Signage Business" conference. Attendance was definitely lower than last year's event, no doubt because of the "belt tightening" (or whatever euphemism you prefer) that has affected so many industries. But while the group was smaller than in the past, it was also far better educated about the digital signage market than any I've come across before.
