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!
