Mind Maps & Todo Lists

Inspired by Mark Levy I've started experimenting with FreeMind (an open source mind mapping tool). The visuals are nice, simple, and flexible. There are lots of keyboard shortcuts, so I don't need to use the mouse that much. I like being able to easily collapse or expand sub-branches, spatially arrange them, use font sizes to visualize priorities. I still need to figure out what FreeMind's calendar features are capable of doing. I'd love to have an alternative view where tasks are sorted by deadlines.

The image shows my current todo list at work.

Fat Pigeon

A super fat pigeon was sleeping on the tree right in front of our kitchen window today. I wouldn't have noticed it if the other birds (some of them can be seen in the picture) hadn't made such a big fuss of it.
