I gave it the URL of Life Trove and it created a wonderful, interactive podcast that provides some profound reflections on it. It's so wonderful, it had me close to tears at times.
I particularly liked how it described my life as a combination of external adventure and internal introspection and how these two activities can create a virtuous circle. I'd never thought of it that way before but it resonates as beautifully true.
Utterly ground breaking. Ever since Gavin alerted me to this, I've been utterly hooked. It's become my 2nd brain to which my real brain plays second fiddle! It's power to generate new ideas as part of the creative process is phenomenal. So useful for my writing. 90% of the time I now use ChatGPT to find out information rather than Google. Prompting, not searching, has become the new art.
This amazing software allows one to sharpen images, remove noise and increase the resolution of an image. It has proven invaluable, especially on my trips to Antarctica, The Arctic and Iceland to really make my images pop.
I've discovered some wonderful software for writing my book "Life is a Movie" called Scrivener.
For some time now, I have been using Google Sheets and Google Docs instead of Microsoft Word and Excel.
There are a number of reasons:
All in all, I much prefer it. I have migrated all my documents now to Google.
Picasa was discontinued so I needed to find another app to create my collages on Life Trove. Fotojet has been a wonderful find. It gives me far more control than Picasa in determining the layout and what photos show where.
This year, I moved all my information relating to Compass and Wisdom Trove to Evernote. Previously I have been using Mindmanager and Excel.
Evernote is really powerful and flexible. It provides some great benefits as an information management system

I love this amazing software. It allows me to make localised adjustments to parts of the photo to really make parts of it pop or bring out details. It integrates with Lightroom. I like it so much I did a presentation to the Mosman Photography Club on editing photos and included it, along with Lightroom.
Craig introduced me to this amazing software and it has revolutionised by photo management and editing. It is built by photographers for photographers from the ground up and is so much more intuitive than Photoshop.
I love Picasa's ability to create collages automatically. I used it extensively from 2005 to 2019 to create the collages on Life Trove. Picasa is owned by Google.
I love mind mapping. Mr Suttle, our Latin teacher, taught us how to do it at school. I used it extensively in both senior school and university. Then at Volvo, I discovered the wonders of MindManager, mind mapping software that took my mind mapping to a whole new level. I used it extensively at Volvo and Blackglass and in my English teaching. Most of all, though, I used it in my own life and it created the start of Compass (My life management system) and Wisdom Trove. Much of the content in the maps also became parts of Life Trove (this blog).
I don't use mind mapping so much anymore since moving to Evernote, but I'm very thankful for the role it has played in my life.
