Once upon a time a long time ago I used The Brain, an innovative and distinctive mind and idea mapping tool. I hit a wall at some point in my use of it, switched my desktop to a platform that it didn't support, and unfocused from it.
There's now a copy of The Brain for the Mac, and I pulled it down this afternoon to help someone work on a presentation where they need to make sense of a whole semester's worth of interconnected ideas. We'll see how it goes - I'm looking forward to using it for exploratory work again.
