Scrapbooking

Have I written about this before? I keep lots of journals. A journal for what I read, for what I bake, for what inspires me. Heck, I even started a web bookmark journal once. How prehistoric is that? I suppose I could’ve been the mastermind behind http://www.delicious.com/ or evernote. In fact, I could still probably come up with an app if I wanted to. But that is not why I’m writing.

I’m writing because now that I’ve lowered my standards and acquired a twitter account, should I also make the leap and join evernote and zootool and take my scrapbooking to the digital level? Do i sign up for a tumblr account, too? I bookmark and save web clips of all sorts of things and it shows in the number of “design ideas” directories I have all over my computer and the design ideas directory in my firefox bookmarks. Speaking of keeping track of one’s bookmarks and inspiration, I also use firefox sync so I can keep track of my bookmarks on every device where i might surf the web. Syncing my safari bookmarks to my various iDevices is probably easier but I use firefox because they had better web developer apps in the beginning and when I only used a PC (gasp!). In fact, Chris Pederick’s web developer toolbar still isn’t available for safari. Why is that? I digress…

Anyway, I have a blog so I can keep everything here. And I don’t want to integrate my web apps with my social networking apps – I don’t want to share or like or be friended or followed. I think facebook and twitter and foursquare and all of the aforementioned companies are probably getting together every month for drinks and golf and to discuss how they can take over the world. In the meantime, maybe I’ll think of and develop an app that makes digital scrapbooking on my blog easier. Or maybe not…
