WinDirStat is another cool tool to view your hard drive statistics. In addition to what is provided from SequoiaView, WinDirStat provides a simple file explorer so you can quickly get detail on demand without leaving the application, which I believe is a win for this application

Meet FreeMind, one of the best brainstorming tools I have used for the past couple of years.
Mind Mapping has been historically known as one of the effective ways to brainstorm and organize ideas. More information about the process of Mind Mapping can be found here
Unlike MindManager from MindJet, Free Mind is free :). And one of the best things about it, is that I almost don’t use the mouse to create, navigate or organize the maps. You can pretty much do everything with the keyboard.

I have been using Bayden systems’
for a while now, and I found it to be one of the most productive tools to access your desktop application, especially if you are a keyboard person like me.
I find the way you establish a shortcut, by using the droplet to choose a running application, to be fascinating. Other ways of establishing shortcuts include Microsoft’s QuickLaunch folder on the taskbar, and the Window+R (Run) command, which either requires entering the full path or having the correct environment variables settings.
Their design philosophy to provide a simple, powerful and stable product is well realized in this application. Two thumbs up!

AnimationMentor, the online animation school is finally up and running. Looks like Macromedia flash is gaining ground in e-learning.
I am waiting for the reviews to know if it’s worth paying $13K for 18 months of online learning!

SequoiaView is a very neat FREE tool for Treemap visualization of the file system.
I have been looking for such a tool for too long, and I noticed an entry about it in Devon Strawn’s blog.
Much information on the structure of your system can be inferred such as the file and folder sizes and your space utilization.
If it’s not very informative for you, it’s still a good chance to see how pretty your hard drive looks

For the cool stuff out there, I will just limit my postings to pictures and links unless there is a personal opinion I want to convey. That will take less of my time and yours as well
