in Diigo Aims to Fill the Void Left By Google Notebook on Sheen Online
I used be a religious Diigo user, then switched to Delicious for bookmarking...then just bookmarked in my browser...all the while using Google Notebook. With Notebook looking like abandonware, Diigo is looking like a great alternative. Also, I think I'm ready to move my bookmarking back online.
Thanks for the tip!

in Never Lose An Idea on Becoming A Writer Seriously
I've found one of the most important things for me is to have 1 or 2 capture tools, and stick with them. After using a palm, cell phone, voice notes, etc...I settled on always carrying a small Moleskine pocket cahier with me, along with a good pen (Pilot G2 mini). When I can't write, I Jott. Simple, ubiquitous, and effective idea capture!

I couldn't agree with you more, Nathan -- settle on something simple and
stick with it. I read about the tools you use; they sound especially
useful. Unfortunately, as I live outside of the US, I've never bought
either of them.
I'm really grateful that you posted a comment, as it allowed me to discover
your blog and podcast Productive Linux [a click on his comment author slug
will take you there]. I have a blog post of my own in the pipeline that
mentions the Asus eee, Linux version, which I first saw last fall in
Manila. I'm likely to buy one later this year and to start exploring the
Linux world, currently a total mystery to me. Expect me to visit your blog
and listen to your podcasts with regularity.

Totally with you on the Moleskine. All it took was to have my palm run out of juice a few times when a great idea popped into my head, and I had to discover an analogue solution. There's always the worry about losing it, but weekly scanning of pages solved that, too.
The choice of pen was a part of the puzzle that took me the time. I needed something small enough to fit in the pocket alongside the notebook, but with the right kind of nib to allow me to sketch as well as write. Eventually found the answer in a mini Muji ballpoint.

browser. One thing that was brought to my attention by a recent convo with
@corvida is that Delicious is an excellent tool for research and community
around bookmarks. I use Diigo primarily, but I also have it saving my
bookmarks to Delicious as well. Best of both worlds, kinda :)
