Concept mapping and mind mapping are graphic organizers, strategies for visualizing knowledge or graphically representing ideas. The terms may seem to be interchangeable, but there are some typical differences in the way they are used: ......
- A mind map is a creative way to represent an idea or task, while a concept map is a formal attempt to organize or represent knowledge.
- Mind maps focus on a central idea; concept maps connect multiple ideas.
- Mind maps are colorful, use wavy lines, and often include pictures. Concept maps are made with geometric shapes and straight lines.
- A mind map builds outward from the center, while concept map expands downward from the top.

Old Techies Never Die; They Just Can’t Get Hired
I will be writing a lot about this topic -- since I have been refurbished a few times already and I have worked for 'younger' bosses who thought they knew it all. The last was at Google where I did get fired (March 2010) because of my age but they were able to dance around it because I didn't have 'development' skills -- I was in their desktop video technical support. My (0,0,0) at that time was Albany NY.
There is lots of reasons these younger, hipper people don't hire the old people -- but the problem is that it will eventually catch up with them as it did when I worked at Microsoft. I have a few tales that I will wind out later.
My point is that an individual has to have something so interesting that a company can't refuse to at least hire the person on a contract. From there, it is up to you. That's the best, you will get in these days. And maybe that's all you want anyway.

Concept map software
I found these 2 mapping packages last night but couldn't enter them into my blog because I can't do cut-and-paste on my tablet right now for some reason -- that's another blog entry. So I entered them as bookmarks and had to add them to my blog this morning.
