i have an hour-long commute to and from work each day. the down time in my car is where i do my best thinking, but there’s something magic about the distance between my car and a piece of paper in my office that makes me forget what i intend to write down. rather than texting while driving (into a ditch) i found a service called jott. it’s a phone service that i call, say what’s on my mind, and they turn it into a text message and email it to me at work. i’ve been pleasantly surprised to check my e-mail at work and see a note to myself that i had already forgotten about! it’s a free service, which works nicely with my librarian salary. check it out at http://www.jott.com/.
