Penultimate!

March 2013:

I finally figured out a way I don’t have to give up my ubiquitous yellow legal pads on which I write notes about everything.  Penultimate for the iPad, that syncs with Evernote is my new toy of the month.  It allows me, with a finger, to sit in meetings, conferences, class, and take notes directly on the iPad and then sync them to existing files on Evernote rather than have them floating around on my desk on different pads of paper.  I’ve been using it in class to annotate syllabi and class notes and it was great at a recent conference because you can even search the handwriting for different categories and notes.
