I’m a longtime evernote user. I like its multiplatform capability. I like how it hosts multimedia, much like my posterous blogs. however, I suspect I am just not organized enough to leverage evernote the way I should. I dump stuff in, I tag it…but then I don’t think to consult it when I could.
I learned about springpad while searching for something else on my droid. I use appbrain for most of the droid stuff i used the native market app for. nice app. anyway, I was looking to find something or other and springpad showed up on the list. naturally I forgot all about whatever it was I was looking for and installed it. *squirrel!* that’s when things got fun.
I had a few extra minutes so I added a few things. a few recipes that looked interesting and that I will probably never use. my favorite sufjan stevens album. just some random stuff. since then I have added some more practical things like notes for events, task lists for a few projects, etc.
that’s what I went to the site for today. when I logged in, however, I saw that I had alerts. *squirrel!* so I clicked to look at them:

sufjan’s is doing a fall tour! yeah, yeah. knew that, have my tickets for the orpheum show. wait – a new album?! he just put out a new album that I’m still getting my head around. so I headed over to pitchfork.com.
it’s true. new album, coming in october. I pre-order so I will be able to download mp3s a couple of weeks early. I check out some of the other songs on pitchfork. they’re good too, so I throw them up on the posterous blog.
it’s all good. I’m very optimistic about using springpad to stay more focused. btw, the “practical” stuff looks great on the droid.

Thanks for the review on springpad. My boss asked me to teach him how to use them. I’m not a techie person myself and my boss is no way better than me when it comes to that. I guess he’s too embarrassed to ask someone else in the office.
I have never used evernote or springpad. It seems interesting. Maybe I should try them ! And the *squirrel* application could be very useful too! Thank you for the review!
Thanks for your comment. Looks like Squirrel is a Mac/iPhone only personal finance application. Since I'm an Android type, I prfer Mint, which is cross platform. Thanks for stopping by!
