I’ve been dying to share something interesting that will make y’all laugh (those who have been following the blog for a while), but I only have a few moments to spare this week thanks to midterms and I want to spend more time on it than 5 minutes. An unfortunate caveat of any college blog [...]

For the past two years I’ve visited daily the same coffee shop next to my school (I’m a creature of habit). It offers free wifi, lots of tables, and good coffee, so it’s a student magnet.

Most days you see 90–100% of customers hunched over a Mac or a Dell of some kind, busily working on [...]

The search for the ultimate backup utility has taken me to far ends of the Earth. Well not quite the ends of the Earth. However, my latest stop has quite successful. For while, I was backing up files to my schools server, which offers a paltry 400MB. I needed more. I thought about using my [...]

Hi all,

I’ll be attending the MindManager User Summit next week. If there’s any thing you wanted an ear at Mindjet for– your most troubling issues, new features, or anything else you’ve just wanted to say, please pass it along. The summit is on Tuesday, so try to get them to me before then.

You can post [...]

I’m not paperless and I never will be. Try as I may, I either can’t grab my tablet fast enough or I just miss the arts and crafts feel of real paper. That said, I have no problem admitting to the use of paper. With all the hoopla about the “HipsterPDA” (heh, funny name) over at [...]

I know they offer personal Wikis for organizing your information (it you’re particularly fond of the Wiki format) but none of them include ink. I’m just want a simple “insert ink-drawn image” tool so it’d be easy to include formulas and diagrams. That can’t be too hard, right? Why? I’m thinking for study purposes. My classes [...]
