[dorkbotdc-blabber] Next Make: Online Toolbox - Writing Tools

[Andrew Q Righter]

Most of the stuff you mentioned already but I'm a pen-whore so I do not
write or plan without one of the following to write with:

- http://www.zebrapen.com/products/pen/f-301?c=30
- http://www.sharpie.com/enUS/Product/Sharpie_Pen.html
- http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/Pen-Archival

And of course an army of Moleskines, my iPhone's default notepad, evernote
(already mentioned) ... I also used to use the website: www.mind42.com for
mind-mapping and collaboration with colleagues and Google Documents for the
official documents.

I've been looking for a cool cloud-to-iPhone ... iPhone-to-cloud application
to draw out ideas which used to be super easy when stylus' were big and
PDA's rampant, but it's hard to draw now using your finger. Meh, I don't
know I'm hoping some good ideas will pop up on this thread though, I could
use some more tools to plan projects and take meaningful notes. I hate the
fact that you can't organize data within the moleskine... my mind is quite
sporadic.

Cheers,

-Q
