archivePad – the good, the bad and the ugly

  Honestly – I bought the iPad 3 this year mostly because it is the apple product I didn’t own yet. But I wanted to use it for reading PDFs and marking them up with a pen (or stylus as they like to call it) as I go. With my set up between good reader, […]

Now this is, if anything, a cry for help rather than advice. Imagine you go to an archive, and have no idea what to expect. Imagine, then, it is not an archive curated by a historian, but an archive in a corporation, which partly burnt down in the 40s, and is now a collection of […]

omnifocus

I just discovered omnifocus. I know, it’s been around for a long time, but I am just getting into the iPad mania, and have developed an interest in all things workflow – now centered around writing (yes, the days or 3D renderings are over. for now). I have to say, omnifocus is genius. And yes, […]
