Evernote

Organization in life seems to always be an issue. There are always so many things to remember and do. I started using Evernote when it first came out but now that it is so cross platform, has an iPhone app, and has a better rounded feature set. I have been able to see the benefit of using Evernote.

I am currently using Evernote to store receipt, manage task lists using the TaskPaper format, and recently I realized that I could use Evernote to store code snippets and have access to them wherever I go.

This is a great product and I hope that we will be seeing more great features coming out of the Evernote team soon. For instance blogging right from Evernote wouldnt be a bad idea.

There are plenty of scifi tv shows and movies that portray a future with everyone wearing the same clothing. Usually this clothing is a jumpsuit and that is where the idea of the “Silver Jumpsuit” comes from.

With all the variations of gadget design’s and styles of clothing it seems imposable to think that we will ever be in a time where the “Silver Jumpsuit” will be the norm. However, I have been noticing that in regards to cars it seems like more and more car manufacturers are just copying each other and designing the same car.

The new Honda Accord for instance looks great but I can see parts of Acura, BMW, and Mercedes designs all reflected in the design. I am noticing the same issue with Hyundai’s new vehicles as well. Chevy and Ford’s cars are beginning to follow the same design ideas as the Honda, Hyundai, Acura, BMW, and Mercedes.

Volvo and Audi are preserving their uniqueness rather well at the moment but it makes me wonder how much longer they will hold off of becoming more like the rest of the pack.

If things continue like this we are looking to a future where the thrills of car spotting and driving would be gone and we would all be in “Silver Jumpsuits”. I would hate this because I would look like an idiot in a silver jumpsuit plus I am a huge car fan and I love to see new and unique designs for cars. I can only hope that some of the cool concept cars these companies are creating actually become real cars and that they dont all use the same designer for those either.

I am waiting for something that is a cross between a Mac Book Air and an iPhone. I realize that now is not the best time for Apple to release a product like this but I am tired of waiting for someone to come out with a device that breaks the mold of devices that we have today. I feel like we are still in the early 90′s as far as our devices go. All we are doing is making things smaller.

Hopefully something will come out of Apple’s next event. They are, in my opinion, the best hope we have to have new technology that breaks the mold. They did it with the iPod, the iPhone, and with their stores I think they will be suprising us more and more.

In the end we got new iPod Nano, new iPod Touch, and iTunes 8 with Genius. A lot of work on Apples part to deliver these things but I’m still waiting for something to excite me again like the iPhone did at its announcement.
