Ever wanted an application that would help put your thoughts down in a more logical sense? or searched on world wide web for a tool that would help you visualise a work flow or an idea?
If that was a yes “nod” to all those questions then this article titled “Hive Five: Five Best Mind Mapping Applications” by Jason Fitzpatrick at lifehacker.com may just be what you are looking for.
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry,
two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares,
its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed;
we cannot erase a single word we said.
Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens,
its large promise and its poor performance;
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise,
either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow,
for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today.
Any person can fight the battle of just one day.
It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities
Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad,
it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday
and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

I came across this poem in our local church bulletin. It sure gave me something to think about.
what about you?
‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.
Quote from wired.com
Students at the MIT Media Lab have developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen. The wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they’re done.
Watch video of student Pranav Mistry who is described as the brains behind the project. Mistry wears the device on a lanyard around his neck, with coloured Magic Marker caps on four fingers (red, blue, green and yellow) which helps the camera distinguish the four fingers and recognise his hand gestures with software that he created.
