Welcome to today’s Friday Hi-5 Features! Each week we will explore the best picks in the following categories: technology/tool; fiction book; non-fiction book; post of the week; and offline inspiration.

This week, a “guardian angel” theme was evident in all of the selections.

Technology/Tool

OneNote: Everyone seems to gush about Evernote all the time, but my note-taking tool of choice is MSFT OFFICE OneNote. What can I say? I am a PC and proud of it.

Fiction Book

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni – Check out this wicked book site!

Non-Fiction Book

Museum: Behind the Scenes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Danny Danziger

Post of the Week

I didn’t catch this post when you put it up but love the theme and the recommendations – also loved Liz Srauss’ post, it clarified my thinking around how I collaborate as well.
I hope M. is OK!!!
