Just a quick note. My last post was written using OneNote 2007 which has a great feature to make blogging easier. To turn a page into a blog-post, just right-click on it and chose “Blog This” to launch a super-lean, easy to use blog-editor to polish and publish. Super-easy, which is great because One-Note is perfect for storing the types of snippets or ideas that turn into great blog posts.

One-Note was my killer-app in graduate school, allowing me to keep my whole life organized from classes to extracurriculars to work. I had all my readings in there and highlighted on top of them, printed slides to it and annotated them during lectures, and used it to outline papers. The features in the new version - allowing me to put a notebook on a shared drive and use it between computers, the in-line calculator, and especially text-recognition in pictures are straight out of my wish list. I highly recommend it to anyone who can pick up a copy.
