Jasper Pope, a graduate of Western Washington University with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design, recently designed this unique information sharing device, the Dialog, that is like a digital rolodex the size of a business card.

"Dialogue is an asset management system. Part digital rolodex, part personal stock ticker, Dialogue allows the user seamless access to business critical information on the fly by consolidating a library of important contacts, as well as up-to the-second stock quotes, into a package the size of a stack of business cards."

Lawn Mowing: The Droplet
