It’s very fast, and allows me (with completion) to tag entries Wiki-style.

There is always Wridea.com which I am hoping to check to see if improvements have been made.

Lo-Fi: my wallet is a 3×5 notecard carrier…a bonafide Levenger ripoff from FranklinCovey carried at OfficeDepot for a fraction of Levenger’s $40 tag…it’s only $15 and you can get it here – http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=178792&No=10&Nr=FILTER(domestic)&N=1000000307+10324&Ne=6+1+10313+5&An=browse
And I carry my own “custom 3×5 power business card” I made on my inkjet.

Other than that, I usually have a Moleskine in my bag….and a stack of custom made “note pages” I designed and run off when I need them.

Hi-Fi: I’m using an alpha build of OmniGroup’s OmniFocus on my Mac, along with their other fine products….Especially OmniOutliner. I live in OmniOutliner and it responds to the way I think like a lifelong dance partner.

There’s a bit of crosstalk with iCal’s task list right now I’m trying to figure out. Either way, I capture ideas in the midst of my workflow using quicksilver to toss the fragment of a thought into iCal or OmniFocus (and hopefully, only one but not the other sooner than later!)

HandsFree: Jott.com. THE COOLEST THING since we decided to cut the cord to our fones.

One of the best accumulating tools…always opened right from the start in the morning.

Any time I have an idea that’s more than a fleeting thought, it goes in there. It’s hard to beat the simplicity of paper for just doodling.

Once an idea moves beyond the conceptual stage, I tend to use Backpack to organize that. Each idea gets it’s own page. I use the body of the page for the overall vision and “elevator pitch”, the lists to capture high level features, and Writeboards for in-depth writing. It’s not a perfect tool, but it’s the best I’ve found so far. Wikis are good, but lack some of the flexibility and organization that Backpack provides.

All this to say: Jason is certainly biased, but he’s also right :)
