Brainstorming

I've been struggling with my writing as of late and since writing is pretty much all a doctoral student does I've been looking for ways to get technology to help me improve my trade. Blogging is one way of course. Another tool that I just started using is a free brainstorming program called FreeMind which allows you to create these nifty little idea maps or trees. I especially love the cloud feature which makes my puny little ideas seem light and airy...here's to innovation in my dissertation!
