As I’ve mentioned in earlier columns (here, here, here, and here), I’ve hopelessly fallen for Evernote. I did want to mention one flaw I hadn’t realized until just recently, and it relates to the way Evernote handles
Last week, I talked about the joys of shared notebooks in Evernote – a feature offered as part of a Premium account ($5/month or $45/year). I mentioned that, in our family, I have a Premium account and

Last month, halfway through my second trimester, work related travel beckoned me to Little Rock, Arkansas. Traditionally I enjoy work-related travel, though at times it’s inconvenient. I’m fortunate that I’m only asked/required to travel three or four
