DIY Ultimate Note-Taking Notebook
This is sort of mid-range between what I do and a Moleskine. What I do: 1. Take a regular pad of yellow notepaper (glued at the top). Preferably 100 post-consumer because it's only practical to write on one side. 2. 2a. Cheaper than other systems, only takes a few minutes to accomplish, still includes removable paper for easy scanning, and no guilt for using a $20 notebook. I do this because I really can't justify the expense for note-taking. (I do carry a small Moleskine notebook, the cheap paper-bound one, for on-the-fly note taking). But, of course, I read Lifehacker religiously so, sooner or later, I'll try something like this.

How I Study... in an Organized Way
I'm super crazy about organization. I'm no where near OCD, but anyone who knows me knows that I'm all about things being in order. Perfect example: my closet is organized by type of clothing and then organized by color. I like to know where something is when I go looking for it, but I'll put that in another post. Today I'm going to explain how I study and get homework done in an organized way. I'll go through this step by step. Syllabi Let's start with the syllabi. Once an assignment, test, or reading has been finished, I highlight it so I know that it's done and I don't need to worry about it anymore. Planner My planner is my sidekick during the semester. My planner, much like everything else in my life, is color coordinated. Moving On...... Here's how I get my weekly assignments organized so I can do them: I like lists. I pick a color for each subject, and make a list on a piece of notebook paper, the Stickies on my laptop, and organize my syllabi with the corresponding color flag tags.
Une brève histoire du Web
« Mac est catholique, Microsoft est protestant*» La fin du Web ? Pourquoi une histoire du Web ? Ou plutôt, encore une « histoire du WEB » quand le site "commentcamarche" ou WIKIPEDIA nous en disent déjà tout ? En 1999, j'ai eu l'occasion de publier en ligne un petit guide de survie Internet : www.tahitidocs.com/archives/internet/guide.htm Plus de dix plus tard, il me semblait intéressant de revisiter les pratiques. En effet, faute de réelles nouveautés techniques, qu'un simple coup d'œil sur la chronologie ci-dessous montre à l'évidence, l'on nous vend pléthore de concepts plus marketing que scientifiques, de nouveautés qui font pschitt pour peu qu'on les examine de près. * Chronique de l'Espresso, 1994, Umberto Eco puis Comment voyager avec un saumon, éditions Le livre de poche, 2000 Editorial interstices.info/internet Pour un informaticien, aucune réelle technologie spécifique ni même application réellement nouvelle depuis pas mal d'annnées, mais une lente évolution...
