reading journal [Creativityist]
I’m an avid reader. I set a goal each year to read an average of a book a week. I enjoy reading, but it is also a discipline of creative work. Ideas rarely initiate out of nowhere. Some of my most creative thoughts cascade out of other ideas, and reading provides me with a torrent [...]
silverflow [Creativityist]
Yesterday, Lifehacker linked to a post on MacApper highlighting a few Quicksilver interfaces. Now, before I rave about my new Quicksilver interface, let me give a little love to MacApper — I’m now a subscriber.
Now, on to SilverFlow. This is a lovely plugin that is modeled after, well, CoverFlow. The icons whiz past as [...]
evaluating evernote [Creativityist]
I’ve been evaluating Evernote for the last few weeks. I like it. A lot. So much that I’m tempted to change over from Yojimbo.
But not yet.
Here’s what I like:
Without a doubt, my favorite feature is Evernote’s ability to recognize text in an image and make it searchable. I can snap a picture with my [...]

evernote preview [Creativityist]
I think it is pretty clear around here how important Yojimbo is in my workflow.
However, Evernote looks promising. They have both a Mac and Windows client that syncs notes to a server so they can be viewed online or on a mobile device. Plus, there is text recognition for finding words in images. I’m [...]
some love for my kindle [Creativityist]
While traveling the past few weeks, I read The Starfish and the Spider for a research project I have due later this month. I read it on my Amazon Kindle. The Kindle experience is turning out to be all I hoped it would — other than having to turn it off for takeoff and landing.
I [...]
capture everything: the incubator [Creativityist]
This is last post in a series on capturing everything. Previous entries: capture everything: buckets, capture everything: tasks and capture everything: ideas, capture everything: out and about.
In a time of growing self awareness a few years ago, I quietly proclaimed myself to be a content creator. I had awakened to the fact that I experience [...]
capturing everything: out and about [Creativityist]
This is part 4 of a series on capturing everything. Previous entries: capture everything: buckets, capture everything: tasks and capture everything: ideas.
As I’ve disclosed my processes to capture every worthwhile thought, discerning readers (or Luddite sympathizers) might have noticed that it seems as if I sit at a computer all the time. That’s not entirely [...]
capture everything: ideas [Creativityist]
This is part 3 of a series on capturing everything. Previous entries: capture everything: buckets and capture everything: tasks.
Once you start to really get serious about capturing every thought of value (and some that aren’t), you’ll quickly realize there are two types of thoughts you want to remember. On the one hand, there are the [...]

List of Apps/Services I use tags:
