My buddy Mike pointed me to Evernote yesterday. While the clipping service is neat, I think the image recognition stuff will be what I really fall in love with.
For years I’ve carried all my notes around in Moleskine notebooks. While I’ve recently started reviewing my recent notes for action items I can put into my GTD system, a lot of the doodles and sketches get forgotten, particularly for projects that aren’t top of mind. I think the tandem of OmniFocus and Evernote could be exactly what I need - a taggable, searchable set of hand-drawn project notes (not to mention all the someday/maybe material) gets me really excited.
Now I wait patiently for my invite… Mike put in a good word for me and I have my invitation. Looks like it comes with 10 invitations if anyone’s interested…

Sean, glad to hear you are enjoying Evernote. I’ve only dabbled so far but it seems quite nice!
Yeah, it looks like I have the worst handwriting in the world, because it doesn’t read my notes. Oh well…still really neat.
Hi Sean, I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and am interested in hearing about how Evernote works out for you. I’ve thought about trying it but worry it would take over my life. If you have any left, I would like an invite. Thank you!
