As hopefully some of you noticed, my blog server went down for at least 24 hours.  Not sure why, but since it was a SUnday and I don’t post too often on Sunday I didn’t notice until I was at work today and tried to make a few posts before starting work.  I remember hearing…

I have been using Mind Jet Mind Manager since version 4 and am a very big fan.  I use it almost anytime I need to ‘compose’ something, whether it be a new program plan, a brochure or a presentation.  I have used it a few times as an ongoing program dashboard, but mostly I use…
