I don’t advertise.  I don’t have pop-up adds.  There’s a simple reason for this.  I don’t have readers.  (Hi, Keith, it’s still you and me over here).

Having said that, there is a product I use and love.  Evernote.  It is my external brain and the reason I have this stupid, relaxed look on my face.  Evernote is a tool through which you type a quick note to yourself via your mac, pc, or mobile phone (I have their free version on my iPhone and it is the killer app for the iPhone).  You can create a text note, and audio note, a photo note, and attach files to each of these.  Because this free software syncs across the web to their server you can access your notes anywhere.  The notes are organized alot like Picassa or iPhoto organizes notes.  That is, you can sort them, search them, or view a timeline (PC version only).
One of the coolest Beta features is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for your handwritten notes.  It doesn’t turn your hand written notes into word documents, but it does mean that if you scrawl a note to yourself :”Get milk” on a postit, take a photo (or scan) that postit to Evernote, Evernote will recognize it.  If you search for milk, it will find that note.  Again, it is a Beta feature, but if they refine this…

Anyway, check it out.  Maybe it works for you, maybe it doesn’t.  I’ve used it for a couple weeks and I love it.  …that reminds me, I need to buy floss.
