Evernote is a clipping program that helps you keep all of your information in one central repository. Planning a garden? A solar panel installation? A secret rendition of suspects to Saudi Arabia? Keep all of your notes in Evernote and you can access them from anywhere in the world.
See, Evernote keeps your information on its own server and offers a unique front-end application that allows you to search documents and even pictures for data. The program is free and available from Evernote.com.
Best of all, there is an iPhone version that brings all of your notes onto the small screen. Evernote for iPhone can store photos and notes and is, as expected, also free on the App Store. It also supports voice notes, adding a cool voice recorder to the iPhone for free. There is also a version for Windows Mobile.
Tagging and search help you find notes on the fly and character recognition for searching inside images is the icing on the cake. Whether you need to make a list of plants to buy or create a dossier on a suspect, Evernote is a great solution.

Agreed. I have a laptop for my job plus two Macs and an iPod Touch at home. The program varies a bit in functionality but I’m able to keep “my stuff” in one neat place. Then I can also see my notes from the iPod w/o lugging my laptop. My work laptop is a Lenovo tablet so I can still scribble my notes there. Simply a great concept for taking notes.
However, I do miss my fountain pen and Moleskine…but that is a topic for a different blog
