Check Out Our Gallery

For a long time now, I've been thinking about adding a gallery to the blog that consists of the mind maps created for this blog and some others. It seems wrong in a way to run a mind mapping blog such as this and not have a gallery that readers can browse through instead of trying to search through old posts.

Well no more! I'm proud to announce that the MindMapSwitch Gallery is now open! 

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be posting more mind maps here that perhaps don't warrant a full blog post. I might also include mind maps that have been quickly sketched for an idea and also screenshots of some software mind maps.

Because Alert SF is, well, as useless as those sirens at Noon

So, a - um - friend recently signed up for the Twitter. He claims that it's to receive better and more frequent updates about San Francisco goings-ons. But we all know the real reasons: one and two. Anyhoo, rather than sit and get all type-A on his ass (figuratively) and log in as him and follow folks, I figured I'd make a list of (hopefully) wonderful suggestions for reliable, informative, fun news and event San Francisco updates.

The shortlist...

@ActionNewsSF (by far the best), @511SFBay, @sfappeal, @StreetsblogSF, @SFist, @Emergency_In_SF, and @CAquake

And for my Mission District neighbors out there: @MLNow, @94110now

There are obviously tons of local twitter accounts (like the local news outlets) but I find that often they report on things that as a snobby, native San Franciscan, are desperately unimportant to me: like things that happen in zip codes not starting with "941". Or they just post too damn much.

I would love any additional suggestions!

UPDATE: He also said that he heard there was free porn. That's a whole other list altogether.

Thanksgiving Break

     This past week I took some vacation time and traveled to Glendive, MT to see Allison's family for Thanksgiving. The last time I had a Thanksgiving 'break' was during college so it was nice to get a few days off. We left early Wednesday morning and traveled to Billings to pick up Allison's uncle Troy from the airport. He flew in from Elko to hitch a ride with us to Glendive. We spent Wednesday - Friday at the grandparents place and on Saturday traveled into Glen Ullin, ND to see some extended-extended family. If I'm correct it's Allison's great-uncle and a few of his brothers and sisters. Basically every other farm adjacent to his in North Dakota. On the way back we stopped in Dickinson to catch up with a friend who's teaching there at the university. That took care of Saturday and Sunday we headed home. So 1,248 miles later I'm back home continuing to recover from more than one Thanksgiving dinner and in-laws who must think my lovely wife starves me to death. Anywho, that will take care of any traveling we do for the rest of the year. Guess it's time to get the Clark Griswold on, Happy Holidays!

After Thanksgiving wishes...

In this week after Thanksgiving:

May you feel, in your return to work, a quiet pleasure, deeper peace, a satisfaction in your actions, a life made richer by reflection, by rest, thanksgiving, reconnection... to all that matters most to you.

Namaste.

Big weeks ahead for Aspire Jobs

Thanksgiving week is a big week for everyone and Aspire Jobs is no different.  We’ve been making some huge strides lately and have some big announcements coming out.  From upgrades to new partnerships and marketing, we’ve been working real hard to bring you the best online job site possible.  Of course, we still offer everything at a fraction of the cost of the big sites… and might have an announcement coming soon about the cost of posting a job with us too.

So stay tuned and we’ll let you know everything Aspire has been up to lately.

Our friend Laura works in the L&D department where Nicole's going to deliver. Tonight things were slow there at the hospital, so she invited us over for this little treat. Seriously awesome, I'm telling you. Ridiculously incredible.

Later, after Nicole and I got home, we watched last night's episode of Glee. The caliber of this episode was exquisite—spot-on humor followed by fervent candor. Several moments were so gut-wrenchingly emotional, I almost got choked up. But none were more moving than this pair of scenes:

So, when the episode ended, we were immediately compelled to download this cover. As we watched it I wanted to do the same thing for our child.

Honestly, I've been wanting to plan and create something musical to celebrate this child. Eef Barzelay (of Clem Snide) did this with "Find Love," and Jonathan Coulton did this with "You Ruined Everything." I just haven't found that small bit of inspiration to start it yet.

Any tips?
