Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone here use Evernote Premium. I'm just installing Basic on my Mac, and I'm impressed I get on the cloud for free. Just wondering if/when anyone hit limitations that made them update.

Or are you using another note tool?

Speaking of tools, what do you use for task management. I have Astrid on my tablet, and soon to be on the phone--I think that syncs on the cloud, but I don't know of desktop options yet. I do wish I could have something integrated with my email clients, but I know I use too many. Still, some sort of standard API/widget functionality would be nice.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I just got Evernote for my phone, but I haven't played with it yet. The SO just started using Astrid. He likes it.

Well, I just put Evernote to good use making a multimedia note shared between platforms--I like so far. I had Catchnote on my phone too, but I think this wins.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I love me some Evernote, especially after they made changes to it and I can do rich text notes.

You can tell how many data you have entered into Evernote by checking the web or your desktop client. I have recipes in mine and more "permanent" notes that I need to find.

I don't use tagging very much.

As far as to-do lists, I have not found the right client for that yet. I do like Wunderlist and I might revisit Google Tasks again. But I think I prefer a plain text/rich text solution.

Wow. This digitizer looks really cool. And $200 isn't that much compared to tablet costs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm assuming this is fake, but I love the laser keyboard idea:

I know I asked about styluses in here before. I got one that's pretty good for typing and general screen navigation. Are there ones optimised for sketching/graphics?

I linked to the Inkling not five posts back.

I already have a graphics tablet. I'm taking about a capacitive stylus for my Galaxy. Something best suited to sketching on it.
