MindRaider - Open Source Note Taker

I was running through my RSS feeds in Google Reader and ran across this post from FreewareGenius:
MindRaider: note-taking program combines hierarchical outlines, tagging, and visual "mind map" representations.

The review was very thorough, enough to entice me to check out the MindRaider program page, and download the Windows version, to test and see if it works for me. There are Linux and Java versions available for download also.

Will post my experience with the program at a later date.

Aging In Place Technology Watch Blog

I recently discovered the RSS feed for the blog for this site.

There is a lot of great information regarding technology, specifically as pertains to seniors and boomers.

I have even left a comment on the "Simplifying computer usage with easy-to-use software...and other musings" post of March 25, 2009, suggesting "computer user groups would be a great place for these kinds of vendors to get good feedback by providing copies of their software, which after review would be published in the group's newsletter and/or website, thus reaching like minded people, rather than the general public".

If you are a senior, boomer, or caregiver of a senior, or boomer, interested in technology at all, I recommend this blog, and associated website.

Jamendo - Music Free and Legal to Download

A co-worker walked by my desk today, stopped and asked what I was listening to.

I told him that particular song was some instrumental jazz I had downloaded from Jamendo, this link is to their english language page.

I have downloaded a multitude of albums, instrumental, sax, piano, jazz, blues, etc. for listening to on my computer.

These artists are from various countries, nine at this time, publishing under Creative Commons licenses.

If you are into good music, this is the site for you.

Whoa!
