For my next Make: Online Toolbox (Monday), I'm covering writing tools:  
Pens, mechanical pencils, drawing/sketching tools (analog and  
digital), notebooks, organizers, whiteboards -- whatever the tools are  
that you use to plan your projects. I don't want to get TOO deep into  
things like CAD programs and the like, more first-order tools. For  
instance, here is MY toolset:

Maker's Notebook - for first level of project planning, drawing
Moleskine Cahier pocket notebook (blank paper) - for on-the-go writing/ 
brainstorming
Hipster PDA (3 x 5's on a binder clip) - Lists, quick notes. I keep  
one of these all over the house - By my bed, by the TV, kitchen, in  
the john, etc.
Omnifocus PIM (on Macs and iPhone) for dayplanning/project outlining
Evernote (on Macs and iPhone) for spoken notes, web content, picture- 
notes, etc that all reside in the cloud)
Varsity disposable fountain pen
Pentel mechanical pencils

So, what's YOUR writing/planning toolset?

Gareth
