I recently purchased a 30GB video iPod. Not long after I plugged it in, iTunes warned me that I didn’t have enough space for my music and that it would make a selection for me. Sounds good to start with but not an idea long term solution. Extensive digging on the web finally turned up [...]
This is a public thanks to the team at Gyronix for creating such a great MindManager add-in with their ResultsManager Vista product. I’ve been a user of ResultsManager for about two years and have made it a core tool in my implementation of David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology. I’ve even put it to use [...]

Some side-benefits of opening up your personal knowledge management system
I’ve just taken my business partner through the in’s and out’s of how I join my blog, del.icio.us and newsgator into a personal knowledge management system.
