I attended an entrepreneurship conference in Chicago this past weekend. I attend
several conferences each year on various topics. At each, I come away with so
much information that it's difficult to process it all. I find I need to
consolidate as much information as possible in order to retain it.

Tim, have you ever come across Mind Mapping? It can be used to consolidate
info for future reference and review, and the process itself helps to learn
and consolidate material mentally.

Hey, that's really neat. I looked at the Buzan site a bit. I've done similar
diagrams occasionally, but never realized it was as explored of an art as it is.

This also appears to tie into Axon (http://news.lugnet.com/people/?n=4223) as
that gives a software solution to do the same thing, and much more powerfun than
pen and paper in some respects. I've put Axon on my list of programs to really
tinker with in the future sometime.

Thanks!

-Tim
