Evernote version 2.0 for iPhone released
Reading Time: < 1 min I’m a big fan of Evernote, even though I don’t use it for GTD (I use Nozbe for that). However, I find it to be a great resource for reference material and notes. I love that it has a Windows version, a Mac version, a nice web interface and a slick iPhone app. Today, the […]
How can I pay for that?
Reading Time: 2 min I’ve always been a believer in supporting the apps that I use the most. So many small, useful apps go out of business every year, so I try my best to support them and I encourage you to do the same. Snipd For example, the popular “Airr” app on iPhone was forced to shut down […]

Obsidian “properties” to help sort your stuff

I never really thought it mattered to me (and I didn’t even really see the […]
Organize your world’s information
Reading Time: 2 min Part of Google’s original mission statement was to “organize the world’s information”. While they’re imperfect, I think they’ve done far more toward that goal than any other company in history. You can search for almost anything from “the world’s information” and they’ll find it for you. While Google is great at organizing the world’s information, […]
Moving from Roam Research to Obsidian
Reading Time: 3 min Over the past few weeks, I’ve been moving my primary notes database from Roam Research to Obsidian. It’s a move I’ve long known I was going to make, but I’ve been waiting for Obsidian to add a few more features to help me get there. They added them, and now I’ve moved. It’s similar to […]
