I love my sling pack - wear it anywhere, and I am less likely to put it from somewhere and then leave without it.

No doubt Niklas Luhmann was highly intelligent and, as Zettlekasten demonstrates, he was capable of original thinking in creating what today, among other things, might be called a seco...

Dellu, in light of what you wrote I wonder what your thoughts are on the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann and his Zettlekasten note-taking system. On one hand, his system removed from his brain the b...

Chris, l ooked at the website just now, and I am not sure what Craft does either, or how to describe it. Best I could come up with is page design and layout - with elements of presentation (PowerPoint...

Fountain pens "unqualified" for taking notes?! Surely you jest! I always have believed it is the notetaker who needs to be qualified for the task at hand. Part of that qualification would be knowing ...

This thread was about tools for thought - fountain pens are tools for thought, and not just items for collectors. Your disdain is somewhat offensive in this context.

Enough said! I have a lot of respect for Edwin Yip, and the way he persevered with DocumentXManager! I am glad he is the developer.
