How to replace Google Notebook

Here’s an interesting page with different solutions to the issue. It’s a wiki, so it hopefully should be as unbiased as can be, and easily edited by anyone, so feel free to share;)

Myself, I’m a Diigo person, I can’t imagine using the net without it, and even thou similar tools like Evernote have some kick-ass functions that Diigo hasn’t, I commend it for its fuss-free simplicity and effectiveness. A must have, in my book:)

The future of designing buildings and other man-made structures

Oh its at least a couple of years away (mildly put) from becoming mainstream, but  the video after the jump gives a surprisingly detailed and thought-out idea of an efficient (again, mildly put) work environment and indisputably shows how technology can be an architect’s best friend. And an engineer’s, designers, you name it!

Hod do I know this? I just do…for I have been to the mountaintop:

On a lighter side, let’s look at it from a different, albeit still important perspective. A mirror of the not-so-distant future, if you willl…
