Evernote – my to-do notepad for the road

Alex — Mon, 25 May 2009 19:37:11 +0000

When I´m on the road (and I mean that literally) I simply record a voice note in Evernote on my iPhone and then tag it with @todo.

Evernote already has an excellent OCR feature. Now I wish it would have the same for voice or music and sound in general. Imagine Evernote would recognise not just words but also music, like the Shazam app on the iPhone.

If you´re the type of person that has to go to the bathroom during a movie, RunPee.com is the perfect site for you. It tells you when there´s a good time to sneak out to the bathroom and you won´t miss that much, e.g. there´s not much talking or happening during a scene. RunPee even tells you how much time you have and, if you like, what is happening during that time.

Those evil Telcos

Just by chance I found out that I could save 10 Euros per month on my phone/DSL bill. Want to know how? I just had to log in to my account and basically “change” to the same(!) plan I already had, which costs 10 Euros less now. Dear telecom company, you couldn’t have told me that yourself, could you?
