My collection of links on
Planes, Trains, and Ships
Also Satellites and Antennae.
Lots of interesting sites -- even though the links are probably to software downloads you don't need, poking around the sits can be of interest.

One of my favourite 'Critical Thinking' training modules -- very much out of the box because, rather than Strategic Intelligence or Law Enforcement/Private Investigation audience, it focuses on Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) for young, budding Epidemiologists.
Should we be worried about this possible pandemic? What's the evidence?
Rest assured, this is critical stuff... Welcome to EPIVILLE
