Happy 2009!

I’ve been playing with Evernote some and it has definitely improved since I last toyed with it. I’m thinking, now that I’m in a different environment, that it just might work for me.

Here are my requirements:

Must be able to use it for work on a laptop that I can’t install [...]

I’m bad with letting things get cluttered, but that’s why I’m taking action. I’m on chapter 4 of Getting Things Done and I’m inspired to finally get my gmail inbox clean. It feels like I had my inbox clean only a month or two ago, but I’m looking at 500+ messages that I kept “to [...]

Well, I’m finally in an office of my very own. I have a name plate outside the door and I can look out a pretty window and see cars below. I got myself some business cards and I’m now attending meetings.

But boy, did those high oil prices (and ever-changing technology) create a lot of confusion [...]

After a few years trying different things and a few internships under my belt, I have a new outlook on how tablets help note-taking, and how only keeping digital copies of my notes can be a hindrance. The basic plan for this semester is as follows: Take notes with Tablet PC in class. This [...]

If you’re going to succeed at being an efficient TabletPC based student (regardless of what program of study you are taking) then it really helps to get, and stay, as organised as possible, and even more so when you’re study routine is primarily digital in nature. Thankfully you can go a long way to achieving [...]

A downfall of wonderful digital notes is, well, your notes are digital. Any exam where the teacher mentions a test is open note and/or open book makes any tablet student wonder just how they’re going to get all their stuff out of their tablet without wasting loads of paper and time. Sure, you can ask if you [...]

I don’t think many people know exactly what Groove is… It popped up in the Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Microsoft Office 2007 and I think it has largely gone unnoticed. When asking my friends if they knew what Groove did, they had no idea. When I come to think about it, I [...]

It’s been 10 days since I first started using mySchoolog. Unfortunately, it hasn’t found a place in my toolbox.

Why? It doesn’t offer anything new. It just rehashes services that are already available! Here’s the quick rundown of what it offers:
