Reaquainting myself with MindManager
As most of my colleagues know, I have begun my quest for an MBA. I started classes at
Oakland University in early September and find myself often having to strictly manage my time and efforts while attending classes in the evenings and addressing the challenges I still encounter at Enterprise during the day. Therefore with my core set of business classes I have migrated back towards the use of
MindManager.
I found that as a biology student
MindManager was a great tool to collect thoughts, data, and sketches but as an MBA student outlining processes and developing systems to use as managers
MindManager becomes an even more critical tool to organize my ideas. I hope to uncover some time to once again share these uses in hopes that students may find this tool to be as helpful as I have!
On another note I would also like to point out that
Mindjet has also released a suitable app for the iPhone. I have dabbled with it slightly but it has not found its way into my everyday routine quite yet. As I regain my confidence with
MindManager though I am confident I will soon be browsing through many maps on my phone while on the road with my iPhone.
Some resources for this recently released app can be found below

Is the Tablet Revolution Comming?
I've been using my Tablet PC for the past four years now and and despite my efforst to promote and sell them it appears the Tablet PC platform has remained in just the niche markets usually being the education and medical field. Some proclaim 2010 will be the year of the tablet especcially with this flurry of excitment surrounding these new netbooks which still begs the question...when did netbooks get big?
For the time being though CNET still believes Tablets have a ways to go before everybody is rushing to their local best buy to relinquish their wallets to yet another device when most of us already have our phones and current laptops. Check out the article for yourself.

Seeking the Perfect Laptop for College
As with any new journey, one must equip oneself with the proper equipment to make their adventure a success. If you were going backpacking in Europe, you would want the proper backpack. If you were camping at Yellowstone, you would seek the appropriate tent. Moreover, if you’re a student in college you need the perfect to laptop to handle the many tasks that any typical student would encounter on a daily basis.
As I head back to school to earn my MBA I find myself in a position to buy a new computer. Rifling through the numerous ads and online resources I remember the difficulty associated with buying that new laptop. I recall researching notebooks for about a month last time before eventually purchasing my Lenovo X41 Tablet PC. This time I plan to follow the same process in order to make the best decision possible.
As I begin my process of narrowing down all possible contenders there are a few things I plan to consider this time around. Should I stick with the Tablet PC platform? After my purchase of an iphone do I go against everything I once stood for and purchase an Apple notebook? What’s going to be more important this time battery life, screen size, portability. There’s a lot for me to consider this time and I look forward to sharing my findings as I start this new adventure!

DorkoTech Update
It’s been just under a year since my last post at DorkoTech, and even that post was a weak attempt to ignite the passion that once existed for this site. I guess I could use my career at Enterprise as the reason for the lack of effort applied to my once active role as a technological leader in the community but even that wouldn’t be a fair assessment to what’s really been going on the last two years since graduating. I guess work often has a funny way of consuming you and possibly transforming you into someone new. This is new individual still shares the key components that make you, well you, but experiences and realities have a way of leeching onto you and pulling you into new directions. These new paths are often exciting, fun, and full of new challenges. I even relished the opportunity to learn new things about business, marketing, and sales. However running my own rental car branch is not where my passion lies.
Therefore, I’ve made the decision to venture off this now comfortable road and start building an even more exciting path that I know will open up even more doors and opportunities for my future. This new road begins with me once again joining the student body of Oakland University no longer as an Alumni that still works out at the gym or a post grad that shares an evening classroom with young new minds. No this time I plan to walk on campus as a full time master’s student pursing my MBA! This means that once again I’ll be using and sharing the technologies that once ignited this site from a blog to a full on business that supported the students at Oakland University. I hope to once again share my love of technology, science, business, marketing, and sales as I start this new venture and document it through this blog!
