[isoc-ny] VIDEO: Jerry Michalski demo of #JerrysBrain @ Civic Hall

[ISOC-NY announcements]

In his introduction to this (not included in the video) Civic Hall
co-founder Micah Sifry credited Jerry Michalski with having introuduced
him, way back in the day, to Civic Hall's other co-Founder Andrew Raziej -
which is a remarkable credit! But, as *is* shown in the video, making links
is what Jerry is all about.

On *September 9 2015* *Jerry Michalski <http://sociate.com/bio.html>* gave
a talk - *Read My Thoughts: How to Use Mind-Mapping Tool "The Brain" To Get
Smarter <https://www.squadup.com/events/read-my-thoughts>* - at *Civic Hall
NYC <http://civichall.org>*. For the last seventeen years, Jerry has been
taking notes on things worth remembering and putting them into an app
called *The Brain <http://thebrain.com/>*. People, ideas, events, articles
and how they're related; he's put more than 250,000 "thoughts" into the
tool, connected by more than 440,000 links. The result is more than one
person's life diary or list of favorite bookmarks. It's also a fantastic,
searchable resource that anyone can tap into, either for free at*
JerrysBrain.com <http://jerrysbrain.com/>* or via a 99 cent *mobile app*
<https://www.thebrain.com/products/ios/>. Even better, because Jerry has
long been at the heart of the tech scene (he was the managing editor
of *Release
1.0 <http://radar.oreilly.com/r2/release1-0>*, Esther Dyson's invaluable
newsletter, for many years, before starting his own consulting work), his
brain is full of deep connections of value to everyone concerned with civic
innovation. At this interactive session, hosted by *Micah Sifry* (also a
user of The Brain), Jerry shared the process he uses to keep adding to his
brain, and offer tips on how you can use mind-mapping tools like The Brain
to better organize your thoughts and keep track of what is important to
you. Video is below.
