Gabe Weatherhead's Macdrifter blog contains an interesting, detailed guide to his "a simple and multi-platform method of creating rich text notes using Markdown. A long read but worth it, I believe. ...
Overcoming Overload?
3/15/2015
It's called "Crew Resource Management" (CRM) and is a technique developed after several serious accidents. (Witn advice from NASA, CRM grew out of situations at UAL, a former employer of mine.) Hosp...
Analog Memory Desk
3/14/2015
Works well with parchment scrolls, quill pens, and inkpots -- in your personal scriptorium. ;-)
Some usual suspects and some new suggestions, too. Good fodder for weekend CRIMPing -- thanks for posting this.
Clip to OneNote gets enhancements
3/12/2015
Microsoft recently updated the Clip to OneOne web clipper with a couple of nice features: choose the destination notebook for the clipping, and "clip article" -- which is a simplified "Readability"-li...
Ulysses for iPad shaping up nicely...
3/12/2015
I'm sure I'll have more positive reactions, but my first impressions of the desktop and iPad version is "ho hum". I don't understand the obsession with making every Yosemite app look like every other...
The Soulmen have announced that Ulysses for iPad (19,99E) and the companion upgrade for OS X (free) will both be release on March 12.
TheBrain vs ConnectedText
3/5/2015
When the dust has settled, your work is finished, and you have done what you do, it would be helpful if you could return here and let us know what approach you chose and what you learned from a tools ...
Not built-in, AFAIK. The Hit List has a pretty good AppleScript dictionary and a script to export the items with notes doesn't look difficult. There are few similar scripts that Google knows about t...
I like Mr. Picky's, er, Bill's ideas. Not sure how that gets translated into an actual tool -- or maybe it's a workflow involving multiple tools. I am constantly juggling 3 or four sources at a time...
Thank you for the tip. Print Edit looks like a good option.
Another option is Print Friendly (http://printfriendly.com), which is cross-platform.
Not only these two, but there's a busy subgenre o...
I couldn't agree more. I enjoy my notebooks, my pens and pencils. I enjoy notetaking on paper more than anywhere else. As much as I enjoy CRIMPing and the software I've recommended in this thread ...
Mac Envy
2/26/2015
It is interesting that Windows users often ask why such-and-such app on OS X hasn't been ported to Windows. I don't recall often coming across the opposite question, why this-or-that Windows app hasn...
It looks interesting, however the last Change History notation on the beta is a year ago. The Chrome extension was last updated in late 2013. I wonder why updates stopped and the app never came out ...
I would to my list of delightful software
DayOne -- both the desktop and phone/tablet versions; powerful features but keeps it all hidden away to let you do the main thing you're there to do: a quic...
Maybe a little OT.
After posting a comment in another thread about a feature in TheBrain that I have been using more of recently, I knew I wanted to mention that here because I'm enjoying using TheBr...
An in-depth TheBrain app-praisal !
2/21/2015
There are two ways to do this. Make something outside of TheBrain and import the file, or create a file from a template (Thought > Attachments > Add Attachment…). One can load up TheBrain wit...
Go on. You know you want it. It's shiny. It's new ... ;-)

Outliner (Mac) on sale
2/13/2015
Outliner (http://outline.ws/mac) is iOS/OS X notetaking software that is compatible with OneNote (2010 and 2013) and syncs with OneDrive. I've been using it for a while on my iPad since it was (until...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/12/2015
You're welcome -- but I believe it was indeed Bill who originally wrote here about Quiver ;-)

Apologies - thanks to Paul Korm, rather than Bill, this time.
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/12/2015
Steve, I found a trick with the Code cell that results in a backdoor folding text result. If you have a Markdown cell (or create a new Code cell and assign to it the Markdown language type) then an...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/10/2015
Quiver for Mac (the "Programmer's Notebook") has a new upgrade to v2.1 with a long list of new and enhanced features. Many of these are navigation / keyboard aids. One particular I like is "When exp...
Updated to Yosemite
2/9/2015
Apple's track record with cloud services is spotty, so I avoid iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo LIbrary. Yosemite tosses frequent warnings about being unable to connect to iCloud Drive -- and the subfo...
Alternote (beta for Mac)
2/8/2015
"Alternote is designed to be the most convenient and natural way to make notes, collect information, write down your ideas, feelings and memories."
It is a plainer-looking UI fronting on Evernote. I...
OT: how in the world do people ever discover fix-it recipes like this -- me, I'd just toss the machine ;-)
