Use PicoNote for dead-simple note taking anywhere
by Lee Mathews Mar 11th 2009 at 2:00PM
Like to keep things as simple as possible? Looking for a way to create notes for yourself?
Take a look at PicoNote. It's available in three forms: a free Windows application, a web-based app, and a mobile-friendly web app (http://m.piconote.com). From the moment you sign up, you'll enjoy its simplicity - the registration form only asks for a username and password.
Once you've created an account, adding notes is easy to do: create, add title and body text, and save your note. If it contains a URL, Piconote will automatically turn it into a clickable link. Private notes are hidden from prying eyes, but you can also create public notes to share with anyone. There are no formatting options, but you shouldn't really expect those from a "pico" application anyway, right?
The desktop application is just as easy to use. Its interface defaults to Polish, so to switch to English just click notatnik -> language. Once you've created a local notepad, Piconote will sync it to your web account and automatically sync it every time you open or close the file.
If that's not enough, you can also create notes via Twitter. Just follow @piconote and send a direct message.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

...and, their domain is expired as of today. I was using this product for the few days since this article, but now I guess I won't anymore unless someone pays the piper.

I have several other notetaking software programs that I like better then this one. It does not have everything I need for my research. I like NoteScribe. It works the best for me.
