A mind, that is.
Today I started learning a new way of organizing information called mindmapping. I've read about it a couple of times lately and I wanted to try it out. There are a couple of free kinds of software for it and I decided to try XMind (http://www.xmind.net/ ).
Mindmapping is a flow-charty way of getting a whole pile of ideas down in a loosely organized way. By drawing loose connections and adding filters, you (theoretically) can see unusual connections and generate new ideas.
While this doesn't give me a pretty picture to present to you today, I am enjoying trying out something completely new to me. I hope that this system will be useful in the future. Initially I thought I could 'map' my brain but the free software doesn't make it look likely. Of course, my brain map might be a pretty scary thing.
I also got a lot done artistically today. Hopefully there will be something to show soon.
