I know that we're the blogging generation but what happened to good old fashioned diaries? Either the type where you actually put pen to paper (rather than fingers to keyboard) to help you remember what you were going to do at some specified point in the future. Or the sort that you wrote secretly every night before bed to record your innermost thoughts and daily doings. (Cue comments from people saying that *they* still do both, there's nothing wrong with proper pen and paper still, at least you don't lose it all when you forget to back-up, and how the world is going to hell in a PC...)
You'll be pleased to know that I'm not attempting either sort of diary this year. But since I'm going on the re:source course in 2006, I am keeping a notebook of thoughts, musings and stuff that I've read/ seen/ heard. And it's in my very cool Christmas-present - The Very Hungry Caterpillar notebook. Nice.
It's not that I don't want to blog that sort of stuff, more that you might all keel over from the boredom of hearing me think aloud in this sort of forum. I'm sure that I will post stuff up here about things I'm encountering during the course, but hopefully it'll be a bit more thought through and edited by the time you encouter my encounters.

I agree that pen-and-paper is the way forward for appointments. PDAs, it transpires, are actually rubbish.
But if you want to do thoughts-and-musings while keeping in the virtual age, I recommend The Journal software...
I would find it very difficult to run my life without my paper and pen diary. I can see my whole week ahead in it, writing things in it helps me to remember them, and I can customise it with stripy paper and stickers. Yes, your phone may be very stylish. Yes, it talks to your mac. But is it stripy?
I keep an occasional journal which I write in to help process my thoughts about my life. I wouldn't like anyone to ever read it as it's pretty irrational and very definitely what I feel, rather than what might actually be the case. Catharsis...
I would actually BUY a jigsaw of who Laura is.
