Earlier this week I pointed to a podcast about working with PDFs. One of the guests was Ernie Svenson from PaperlessChase. What I should have mentioned was that Ernie has a new book out this week called PDF Essentials for Lawyers. Even though I am not a lawyer, I thought I’d channel my inner Lionel […]
Continue readingIf you are working with a bunch of PDFs, it can be a pain (and confusing) to try to keep track of them all. This isn’t the first and won’t be the last time that the inspiration for this post came from Eddie Smith at Practically Efficient. More specifically, from this tweet: If I have […]
Continue readingOne of the great debates of our time is not Sammy vs. David in Van Halen or Ozzy vs. Dio in Black Sabbath. It is Evernote vs. OneNote. There are fans on both sides of the debate, and both are sure they have the best solution. I personally don’t believe in “best” applications. I think […]
