Omnigraffle
I was trying to figure out some complicated brain things last night, and I sat down with a pen and a piece of paper and tried to make a graphical representation. I failed miserably. I went to bed not feeling much clearer on the situation than when I started.
This morning at work, I whipped out Omnigraffle, which is charting and graphing software. I transposed the notes from my scrap of paper, then started adding things and moving things, and the next thing I knew, my issues seemed totally transparent.
I was so excited I IM-ed Denny about it.
I actually don’t think of myself as that big a techie; I just embrace all the ways technology makes my life easier. This is the future, people. It may not be a flying car, but I don’t even like to drive, so I’m okay with that. I had a nightmare last night that I lost my computer and my camera. I was very relieved when I woke up and realized they were both in the living room. I don’t know what I would do without my sweet, sweet technology.
