Something exciting is in the air...Tony Dunckel, the SnagIt and Jing Product Manager, and I are out in San Francisco at the VizThink conference. And, we're surrounded by the rock stars in the visual world. I can't wait to hear talks led by Cliff Atkinson (he's a SnagIt user!), Nancy Duarte, Kevin Cheng and Christine Martell (remember, she made the 'Bethcast'?). I'm sure Tony and I will be learning a lot this week.

And, our booth at VizThink is next to MindJet, the makers of MindManager software! As you know, I'm a big fan of mindmapping, and often use MindManager to plan a variety of things from blog posts, to project planning, and everything in between. I have to admit, something I never thought to use it for was vacation planning. And, that leads me to this week's Screencast of the Week. GottaBeMobile has a great 'inkcast' that shows how to do just that - plan your vacation using MindManager from start to finish! You can see the blog post and screencast here. And, there's even some singing in this screencast!

And, in the interest of being transparent, I should mention that MindJet sent me a copy of latest version of MindManager (I have purchased several copies in the past) and we do sponsor GottaBeMobile (I've been a long time fan too).

Have you seen any creative screencasts lately?
