ConnectedText; any case studies?
2/24/2012
I have only just begun exploring CT, so I apologise if this question is too basic. But if you use CT as a writing tool (e.g. to write a book), and then you export it as a bunch of .txt files, does it ...
Writing tools for complex storytelling

I'm wondering what all the tools are out there for complex storytelling (for Windows PC). By 'complex storytelling' I mean the kind of writing where you need to weave together multiple storylines (e.g...

Steve,
thanks for the blog post. I've experimented with wikis many moons ago but this is the first time it truly clicked for me how I might be able to use one. I'm starting to think that a wiki like C...
MyLifeOrganized for iPad
2/20/2012
But just a simple observation from the screen shots: there seems to be a lot of empty space between the lines. The main attraction to me of the desktop version (which I do use fairly regularly) was th...
MyLifeOrganized for iPad

MLO for iPad is now out. It's looking good. Nice to see that there is WIFI sync as well, so the cloud account is not obligatory. Still, I'll be holding off for now because of the price and my disappoi...

Fast 3D modelling

Thank you for all the suggestions. I can see now that 3D is interpreted and utilised quite differently by the various suggestions mentioned. Some seem to be focusing on modelling a single 3D object, o...
Fast 3D modelling

Does anyone have experience here with using a 3D modelling software for quick concept mapping? So far I've been using 2D software for this such as VUE or SmartDraw but I feel my imagination is being r...
MyLifeOrganized for iPad

MyLifeOrganized for iPad has just been submitted for approval to the AppStore, so it should be available shortly. It comes with a price tag of $19.95 (which is quite a lot in the iPad world). I did b...
