Freedom!

I was looking at the insanity of my Outlook inbox, noticing that I had far to many emails sitting there, most had expired.  I started surfing and came across this site about email overload.

I read it, got inspired, and started just thrashing my inbox.  Delete, delete, delete.  I started the day with 1,700+ emails, as of this moment I am down to (drum roll please) 128.  Not bad.  I'm trying a new product called SpeedFiler. So far, not too impressed...but we'll see how it goes over the trial period.

How's your inbox doing?

Visual Thesaurus

I was doing a little blog surfing today, just bouncing around wherever the mood struck.  I landed on Kem Meyer's page and started scrolling through the posts.

Kem puts down some excellent thoughts, so please read those.  However, something she linked to just hooked me, I'm been playing with it since.

Check out the Visual Thesaurus!  What a hoot!  And what a help!  They say that the Visual Thesaurus is a tool for people that learn visually.  Well, that's me.  Most people that work with me know that a request via conversation will be forgotten by me in less time than it takes them to walk back down the hall to their office.  All requests have to come in via email.  So this little web thingy is squarely aimed at me.  Here's a screen shot, check it out sometime!  I have to quit posting and go play with it some more.
