While I’m involved in various other projects, it’s difficult to find time to write here. A very kind reader, Peter, of my articles elsewhere in the blogosphere suggested I post links to my other writing here. So I’ll start off with a list and after this post individual snippets and links.
Currently I’m writing weekly at […]

Those of you that are “web workers” might be tempted to say that you can live pretty much anywhere if you work online. (You also don’t have to deal with the craziness of work Christmas parties.)

Without Internet access, online workers are, to put it bluntly, screwed. You could use a typewriter to write with and snail mail, but obviously that’s not going to cut it for long. Let’s face it, Internet access is an absolute necessity for some people. And without broadband speeds, your work productivity goes down.

A quick glance at the “Tools” section in the far right nav column will suggest that I really like mindmapping. I’ve been going on about how I’d have articles on this site or that site about mindmapping, and yet I haven’t done many. Well, I recently put up the first two in a series on […]
