Unless you happen to be in a wifi zone where you take notes. And there is something to be said for the pen on paper feel of keeping notes in a nice book. I want to keep it nice and fill it with quality ideas. Plus, having that original tome, once it's completely full is immensely satisfying - possibly an heirloom. YMMV of course ;) One of my problems with using a wiki for note taking is it’s not as portable as a handy moleskine. Unless you happen to be in a wifi zone where you take notes.

It's easy to update from anywhere and it is easy to cut and paste into a word processor when the time comes. Another technique I've used is to setup a private blog and use the category tags as a natural sorting mechanism. I think I might use a variation of your idea and create a tabbed notebook to collect my thoughts and then transcribe them into one of these digital containers. The more I can break down the work into small chunks, the greater the chances I will actually get something done! Andrew Seltz The Go-To Guy! www.AndrewSeltz.com Brad,
