It feels like the VCR I never used, or my SONY receiver which I presents me with every conceivable option that sees no daily operational use.

Aside from the simplicity (not to be overrated) what features/integration does NV offer that you leverage?

As we’ve discussed elsewhere I too ditched OF. Its feature bloat kept me from actually using it. And Things wasn’t great either. We’ve now been working with FLOW (sic) http://www.getflow.com and really like it (for to-dos).

Based on my own style I like to use audio recording (when appropriate) to augment my note taking. Evernote provided this and a bunch of other great OS integration features (and ubiquity!). I know you said you didn’t like EN. For note taking I wasn’t crazy about it either. Agnes turned me on to AudioNote and I’ve been toying with that. Would like to hear what tipped you to NV from EN.

We could always use some more compatibility testing with things like Lightroom/RAW images, etc.

]]> Comment on QR Codes Are Stupid by Ernest Koe http://ernestkoe.com/2011/09/08/qr-codes-are-stupid/#comment-94 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:14:48 +0000 http://ernestkoe.com/?p=240#comment-94 when Near Field technology gets to a point where we can point a device, say phone or spectacles at some thing and get instant information about it, none of this QR silliness will matter. But until then, what really boggles my mind is how so many big companies are getting nuts over QR codes. It must be the same 1% using them in every market!a

I frequently refer them as “that thing marketers now use when they think we are too lazy to type in a URL”. Since for the most part, QR Codes on marketing material just takes people to a simple URL. Only on occasion like codes at Mass Transit stops (which isn’t marketing and actually useful) have I seen those URLs become large enough you wouldn’t want someone to type them in.

Further, some companies have been duped into using alternate systems that look a lot like QR codes but need different readers (Hello AT&T) which is even more frustrating when you see that badge next to the barcode saying “Download this app to read this code.” Heck no, what a pain!

]]> Comment on On Constructive Criticism by Stephen Ritchie http://ernestkoe.com/2011/09/06/on-constructive-criticism/#comment-18 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:20:59 +0000 http://ernestkoe.com/?p=224#comment-18 I’ve gotten so much from the thoughtful critiques people, including you, have been generous enough to share on my photos. You’ve crafted a thoughtful guide here. I’d sum it up in this far from original way: treat others the way you would have them treat you, and approach their critiques with the belief that they are acting in the same spirit. Respect and grace. Not always easy, but hard to go wrong.
