Mapping my Mind, My Mind Mapping

Maybe it's the face that I am a double Capricorn... but I have to confess, I love mind-mapping software. I recently purchased the iThoughts application software on my iphone. And I have been happily creating complicated mindmaps on my iphone... maps of my dreams, my 92 item to do list, work lists, plans for career development, websites, plans of actions... you name it!

And I emailing them as outlines, pngs or transferring freemind files to my desktop!

Freemind is a free javabased mind-mapping software. Its not as sexy as iThoughts, but it does the job.

I am happy and more organized. I love good tools!

Why oh Why Blog

A couple of years ago I went to a design conference called Sahre Victore Wilker. Designers from all over the world came for the 5 day event. There everyone was asking and talking about blogs blogs blogs and it was all the trend.

Last year I went to a conference on entrepreneurs and people were talking tweet tweet tweet.

This article was written last year and it gives some great reasons why to blog... I highly recommend it.

The Mythical Man Month

I recently picked up the Mythical Man Month by Fred Brooks. Its not only a great read, but its surprisingly insightful.

It is touted as THE book on software engineering and project management, and I am finding it to be a great read and very insightful in regards to the creative process.

Here's a link to the wiki article:

But I suggest picking up a copy yourself.
