Alternative education Alternative education, also known as non-traditional education or educational alternative, includes a number of approaches to teaching and learning separate from that offered by mainstream or traditional education.

A Small Businessman's Guide To Innovating Like The Pros One of the fundamental errors many would-be innovators make is assuming that the hardest part of innovation is coming up with an idea. That’s actually the easy part. No matter how much work you have done, no matter how careful your analysis, the only thing you can be sure of is that your first idea is wrong in some meaningful way.

It’s rare that we consider information beautiful, or beautiful art informative. But work by Minjeong Ahn somehow achieves both.

They’re meta blueprints, hyperreal diagrams that look at human bodies as one might circuit boards or transit systems. Original self-portrait, complete with high heel specifications.
