2 dry erase boards, Favorite text editor, Draw out the systems at play, choose a salient aspect present in many of the nodes, take a stab at writing about it over the course of several days/weeks/months. Got something interesting as a result? Start a newsletter. It seems to me that the best results come about after contemplating things for a while and then having a conversation with someone such as on a forum or internet-chat and sharing the dialogue with others. Easier to follow and usually more impactful than long-style writing on one's own.
