String Around my Finger

Why can’t I remember stuff?

This has to be one of my favorite things going on online these days: Evernote.  I have never been much of a list maker, but this goes beyond the normal to-dos of the past.  The application allows you to capture basically anything you see and keep it on your desktop or on the web.  Supposedly, the application works even better on an iPhone (no I cannot verify this for myself…but maybe one day…or maybe an Android!).  Even without the picture snapping ability in the palm of my hand, Evernote helps me remember book and movie reviews I read, restaurants I want to check out, wine bottles I like or just notes to myself to pick up my dry cleaning.  In the past, I have been a big fan of the online Stickies (for practical purposes and their nostalgia factor).  Evernote knocks out Stickies in the first round.  Cold.
