MindMaps

Alright I have to admit I never liked the mind map things teachers always made you do for preparing to write a paper and such. I’m more of a start writing and go with it guy. Mind maps slowed me down and were annoying since you always had to erase and shuffle the little circles growing out of them. However I was wasting time relaxing by playing with my new favorite toy StumbleUpon, I’ll do a post about it sometime, and found text2mindmap.com. It’s actually kind of fun and with two papers due and test this week I figured I’d try it. I humbly admit that the blasted thing is actually helpful. Don’t get me wrong. I’m still against the old fashioned pencil/paper kind that take forever to organize and look really bad (For me at least) but I like the quickness of the computer style one. It’s simple, easy, and all I have to do is enter words. I really like how you can move the branches organically (They bounce!) Here’s my first try at it just trying to get something together so I don’t feel quite so lazy. (I’m fairly certain I made up a few words, but it’s for personal usage anyway so stow it English police!)
-Edit- Again WordPress likes to fiddle with my picture sizes so the text is unreadable, oh well!
