Alright y'all. I am starting to fall in love with the idea of "Concept maps." Look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_map. Note how concept maps are better than mind maps: "Concept mapping can be contrasted with the similar idea of mind mapping, which is often restricted to radial hierarchies and tree structures." Humans simply don't think hierarchically most of the time. In fact, it's often frustrating to limit thought in such a way. I've finally found a concept map program that I like: http://cayra.net/. My sales pitch follows... keep in mind that this took a lot of time (30 secs) copying and pasting to compile this... so take the time to read it!
