Map of my mind

It's great to get back in the classroom, no I mean it. Holidays are great but they do go on a bit. For the past month or so I've been heavily involved in redesigning the schools administrative database, it's got nothing to do with physics but as I was telling my first year classes this morning, a physics education does enable you to think in a certain way and that can sometimes be useful. It tends to be a very linear way of thinking, if body A exerts a force on Body then body B will exert an equal and opposite force on body A etc. Please don't mention body C until A has hit B or I'll get terribly confused. Daniel, the Geography teacher loves mind maps, I tried to do a mind map for one of the physics topics, it only had one long straight street on it.
