I’ll start with a great new book that I just finished…

Cutting for Stone is one of the best novels I’ve read this year. It is a novel that stretches from India to Ethiopia to the US and back tracing the lives of a family of care-givers. Hard to put down, I don’t think I’ve ever read such compelling writing focused on the art of medicine.

Ok on to the top five links…

——————Top Five——————-

1. Our very own CEO of Rhiza Labs, Josh Knauer, has just been appointed to working group of President Obama’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. If you have any suggestions for Josh to consider as part of his work with PCAST working group? Click on this link to send him suggestions.

2. Raising Chicago. A nice illustrated history.

3. A video documentary about how the New York Times creates their infographics.

4. Remind you of any recent mind-bending blockbuster?

5. Radiolab always kills me.

——————The Rest——————-

This week in toast. The Toast Defibrillator.

The proverbial wallet. Tangible finances mix atoms and bits.

Nike will have this built into their sweat suits soon enough…

Design meets business blog from Fast Company…

Really nice HTML5 drawing app (hint that means it works on an iPad since it has no flash)…

What I’d like my house to look like.

The best magazine articles of all time…

We are all radio talk show hosts…
