Joes Map

I found several people talking about ways to custom skin maps from yahoo to match the site you are using them on. I love the Google and yahoo maps, but I am not a big fan of the standard colors that they are bordered with. Today I found that other people have had this issue as well, and there is a way to change the look of the yahoo maps for your site with flash 8.

Now I have flash 8, but I have used it very little. I’m not the artist I wish I was, and the first few flash tutorials had me wishing for a vacation in Siberia. I love what flash does, but the small time lines and scripting languages are just not my cup of tea. If anyone would like to draw up some flash maps that focus on a coffee theme, I’d love to have one!

Mind mapping is not my favorite term for it, but it’s what most people know it by I guess. I think mind mapping, or getting the flow out on paper as I like to call it, is a powerful tool. I have drawn so many mind maps over the years, it has helped me accomplish the multiple businesses and relationship goals I have set for my life. With getting the flow out on paper I would just have too much stuff stuck in my head.

It’s a great way to get rid of stress for me, and helps to get it all out. I am often amazed at how much easier I can sleep, or move on to other things once I have jotted down all my semi connected random thoughts. I also find new area of inspiration, and sometimes find things that are deep in my mind that I had not been overly consciously aware of.

Last year when it came time to get everything together for vacation I had to use a mind map. It is rare that I get to spend two weeks are from work, and there were so many things on my mind, without a mind map we would have never made it to Hawaii, much less been able to have a good time while there. My mind mind helped me plot out everything that needed to be done before we left, and helped me stay on focus to have a good time and enjoy it while we were there.

The vacation mind map saved me time and money, I recommend everyone jot down mind maps on a regular basis.
