I find that the older I get, the more cluttered my mind becomes. You don’t have to be 40+ to be cluttered and disorganized in today’s fast-paced world, but until recently it seemed like my brain was becoming more scattered with each passing year. My desks at work and home looked like I was farming Post-it® notes, with notes everywhere filled with ideas, reminders, and lists. I would have bills and receipts in a stack, waiting to be filed. My filing cabinet looked like something out of a horror flick. Needless to say, my wife was less than thrilled with what this did to her well-planned decor. How to tame this mess? Evernote to the rescue. Read on for more on how Evernote can help you “unclutter” your mind and your life.

As much as it would seem that new storage media would run circles around tape, tape still has benefits that other storage media can’t yet match. After the break, we’ll explain why, but also discuss why these benefits won’t last. Photo by Joe Shlabotnik. Read more
Any 40-something is quite comfortable with “old media,” such as newspapers, magazines, and television. If you’re like me, though, you’re also fascinated with “new media,” such as social networks on the internet. You’re probably wondering how all of this eventually will shake down when the dust settles. With many traditional news outlets experiencing financial difficulties, in what form will we get our news in another ten years?
