PeterMe asks What Software Do You Think In? It's an interesting question that is continuously changing for me. It used to be whatever email program I was using (I am continually mocked for the amount of space my email takes up on the server). Then it became the bookmark program I use (which I have apparently maxxed out). Then it morphed into an information manager for my Palm (so far, so good). Now it's blogging in Radio. This is my trail of knowledge management, another essay I'll be writing one of these days.
Blogging is really the first chance I've had to share my virtual knowledge container with other people. I did it a little bit with the Librarians' Site du Jour, but with that I tried to be objective and offer guidance more than anything else. I wasn't trying to capture all of my thoughts, so much as be a virtual pointer to other sites.
Sidebar one: the comments for the above post pointed me to Snood, Junkbot, and Vexed, all games I know Kate will appreciate while she's home this week.
Sidebar two: when I think, I type. Or maybe that should be "I think, therefore I type." Ever since I learned to type in high school (on a typewriter, mind you), my fingers will involuntarily start typing in mid-air whatever I am thinking. If my hands are just resting on my legs, my fingers will still type. Sometimes, it's how I stay awake in meetings - I start air typing what the person is saying so that I will focus on it. I have no explanation for this.
