10 days ago, I reported the first person story of the Wired Magazine reporter who had his digital life destroyed. My lead story today is part two of his epic journey to get his life back, as told by him. Definitely worth a read and learn the lessons so it does not happen to you.
In the last couple of editions I focused on a particular application (Outlook.com and Windows 8). Today, I want to focus a little attention on one of my favorite applications, Evernote. I use this on a daily basis and the best part is that it is completely free. I have it on my phone, my iPad, and all my computers…and they are all in sync. If you don’t use it, you should, and if you do use it, you should still read the two articles. The first is about figuring out the best use of the program to fit your needs. The next article is about six new applications that can help you use it better.
There is also a follow-up article on the very negative Windows 8 review I published last week. Also worth reading. In fact everything here is worth a read, so why don’t you just get right to it. -JRC
