Journler: A Communicators Best Friend

a few years ago, i took advantage of the demo version of onenote by microsoft. it was very useful, and the only thing that i had a hard time letting go of in the world of microsoft. i still have the old windows laptop laying around, and it does great for cruising around on the internet, but that is about it…

then, a year and a half ago, i stumbled upon a free (but accepting donations) website that offered a program called journler. if you have a mac, then you should consider checking this out. this organizational powerhouse integrates well with all of the mac programs that you would use on a day to day basis, and also allows you to record audio and video directly into your entries. with one click you can send an entry to mail…

the current version (2.5) is still free (but accepting donations), but the word on the street is that when 2.6 comes out, there will be a fee. i will be happy to pay the fee, but i would recommend that you give it a spin while its free and decide if you like it.
