Have you ever been sitting in the car, running out the door, seen a magazine or newspaper article and wished you had paper and pen to jot that information down on. If you’re like me you probably texted yourself a little reminder, added a note to your Google calendar or tryed some other workaround to remember your brilliant idea. While all of the above work, they are also slightly annoying. I hate emailing myself pictures or texing myself phone numbers, blog ideas or work thoughts.
