I've been using it since the first month it came out, pay for premium, and used to evangelize it. These days I find myself using Simplenote more and more to avoid the frustration.

Problems I have with Evernote: Conflicing changes peppered throughout notes, but no ability to see what the differences are clearly so I can consolidate all in one. IOS is downright unusable to append to a note or delete anything from a note, and it's mostly just text in all my notes. Errors syncing with remote server on my windows Machine even after uninstall with revo uninstaller and reinstalling. Web based version pinned as a tab in firefox or Chrome sometimes takes a solid 45 seconds to respond on my 2013 Mac. I keep trying to find workarounds or platforms it works well on, but Evernote keeps adding extra features and crippling core functions and no platform seems spared.

I'd like a tool I can smoothly append to a list, seamless sync between platforms, use hyperlinks between notes, and something I can easily access past notes for research purposes. Lack of links in notes, amount of notes in EN, lack of robust search, are only things keeping me from using Simplenote fully.

Thought about Simplenote or clearly for lists, Devonthink for finding relevant notes, though Devonthink is Mac only. Maybe the ultimate solution is a personal wiki, I saw Clive Thompson of Wired mag researching that, so maybe there will be a informative article there soon.

Reminds me of this piece: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/opinion/sunday/is-it-ok-to...

"We do not know of a single case of a cyclist fatality in which the driver was prosecuted, except for D.U.I. or hit-and-run,” Leah Shahum, the executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, told me."

Cycling is just going to get more common, at what point will the having less rights bias end? Will it take someone of David Byrne's status getting hit to actually do anything about this?

Using multiple devices like a computer, tablet, phone in Evernote and getting duplicate "conflicting change" notes is maddening. You then have to search out within the note that you appended to what you added then delete the duplicate note. This is a real pain when your note is longer than a screen and you have to search out exactly what information was changed.

In a perfect world you should remember what was changed, but isn't offloading information from your brain what Evernote is for? They need to sort syncing out or at least give the option to show only what information was changed. I'm about to go back to Simplenote's seamless syncing and save the money I'm giving Evernote for something that's becoming increasingly kludgy.

Accessing a note in IOS is also super slow then trying to append to a note can turn into a moment of wanting to chuck the phone out the window.

Every time I go to update to legit IO7 I think, oh yea, but F.lux. Apple seems inspired enough to bake the good jailbreaks in, except for this one essential (for me) tweak. The Iphone was a revolutionary product and a great tool, but I'm pretty sure it's also responsible for millions of hours of lost sleep due to late night blue light. C'mon Apple start forward thinking again and let us have this as an accessibility option at least.

I send feedback every single time IOS gets an update, hope others will too.

I've done this in Instapaper. I have many thousands of articles (thanks to the instaright Firefox extension) going back years. Clearly, this is what Clay Shirky says is a filter problem, not a problem of too much information. I no longer horde in instapaper like I used to but I would like to at least be able to be able to export what I have since I started using it and even transfer the FULL archive to pocket. Probably doesn't apply to many, but: "If you have more than 2,000 articles, only the most recent 2,000 will be included. " I not only bought Instapaper, but I've been a paid subscriber since the beginning (so I can search my archive for potential research) and it would be nice to download a full archive, but nope, I can't.

I do the same but I also visualize each number differently; different shapes, textures, sizes. That seems to help engage the monkey chatter and the wacky visualizing takes me closer to dreamland.

Plus one for F.lux, I have it on everything I use but recently I updated my phone to the standard IOS thinking it wouldn't be missed since it was the only Jailbreak tweak on my phone, but now I'm missing it so hard I'm seriously considering an Android and its equivalent app. With F.lux on my phone my light sensitivity was better in the day and sleep was better at night.

Instead of going dark Google should go to a page explaining SOPA then after a period of time redirect to what the user was searching for. That way there won't be huge implications for the economy, and the user is forced to confront what SOPA means.

In my ideal world a library would be a combination of a hackerspace, techshop, cafe, with areas to write/research and generally be inspired.

I quite liked "Philosophy as a Way of Life: Spiritual Exercises from Socrates to Foucault" by Hadot http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Way-Life-Spiritual-Exercise...

I'd like to be able to request a visualization of my location similar to the flight pattern project http://users.design.ucla.edu/~akoblin/work/faa/

figure ATT owes me at least that much

"S. Korea to ship boric acid to help Japan stabilize nuclear reactors."

I saw this article yesterday and searched out this site: http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/ with the idea of making one to digitize a few of my bookcases.

Too much going on right now to take that on, so I'm curious, does anyone know of a service around the bay area that will do this without charging fees near the original price of the book?

edit didn't see the comparison below, but this works very well with Iphone/pod/pad

The title is talking about SF. There are seasons within neighborhoods of SF proper.

Having lived both places SF feels like the place where new ideas meet with the least resistance. In New York I'm more inclined to want to go out and ogle girls in summer dresses, but NY is a very inspiring place to live, no doubt.

Good choices. Sometimes I like stuff like Gas, Deep Chord or Basic Channel (dubby techno) others Post Rock that's been mentioned, but usually like very calm loopy atmospheric stuff like Harold Budd, William Basinski, Tim Hecker, Ryan Teague, the pop ambient series.

I can't listen to anything with words.

This could be due to GABA rebound.

I agree, if I don't have a visual reference in front of me I forget some of the many sites that are important for me to get to. You can get three rows of books marks up top: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13923/add-a-scrollable-multi-... I like this with a theme that minimizes the icons and text of the bookmarks. It hardly wastes any space this way.

Scan or take pics of them and add them to Evernote. Keep only the essentials. Works for me.

I've always thought Twitter should have an auto generated list that shows 1 tweet per day per user. I think I added this to the wishlist for Tweetdeck (Groups) a while back. From glancing over the link, that solution sounds decent too.

Nice chart. I love when they break things down like that and can confirm that the graph with the girls is authentic (been out with 2 of them) One thing these numbers don't take into account is that when people pay for something they're more likely to take it seriously. It's anecdotal, but my experience with hundreds of dates over the years is the women are less flaky on Match vs. OKcupid. It's a case of having to develop a good flake-dar, such is the price you pay for free. Saying that, I'd never want them to go pay, I hope OK and the like destroy Match, they're just better companies with better ideas.
