Pensieve

[prog]

It was with some amusement that I read J.K. Rowling's description of the magic "pensieve" in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Its owner, Prof. Dumbledore, used it it store thoughts and ideas he had no immediate use for, so that he might later retrieve and peruse them. It also connected related thoughts to one another, including thoughts that might not have been connected when he initially and separately input them.

This is more or less exactly the sort of thing I'd like with BrainDump, and I think it'd be fun to pull-quote one particularly descriptive sentence from the story, for display in a README or an About box. And bring down the hounds of DMCA, aaaaaagh

My UI won't be as sexy, though... you'll actually have to type in your thoughts, rather than transfer them directly from your forehead, and you'll also need to create the connections yourself. I'll put that other stuff off until version 2.0.
