Fixing Broken Promises

-
     I have invested a lot in OneNote.  I  sync it clumsily with an Amazon Cloud Bucket to all my devices.  I use Mozilla's S3 Organizer extension to do that mostly.  I use Mobile Noter to sync my Iphone with the important Notebooks.
     I'm still using 2007 and won't upgrade to 2010.  Microsoft's SkyDrive limits file size to 50MB including OneNote.  My file size is approaching 2GB.  Moving everything to a different app will very soon be a requirement.  
     I'm experimenting with Google apps a lot now hoping it's the solution.  I have tried a lot of applictions thus far.  A short list is Evernote,  Awesome Note,  MobleNoter, Wunderlist, Nozbe, and Momento.  All are purchased, fully licensed versions.

     I like Moleskin's, but I've dropped just about all paper systems.  I use my Iphone recorder to take my notes and store them on Google Drive.  I use Dragon to convert to text sometimes. I pump that text into one note.  I use send to OneNote to keep track of Internet Notes. I've never heard of Circus Ponies until today.  The first thing I noticed on the page was a promise they can't keep. "Get the promotion and raise that you want"  Really?  Just from using your software? 
     This made me think  about Chris Brogan's Master Blog Class.  Chris asserts early on that "You Owe Your Reader's A Promise".   I couldn't agree more.  I dislike reading anything that never seems to resolve much.  The fact is though, broken promises are all around us.  It isn't just about reading material.  The current global economy is a result of broken promises.  Developers, bankers, athletes, teachers, dentists and even pastors have all participated.  And so have you and I to varying degrees.
     The only way to move forward is by fixing what's broken.  My question is "how do we do that?"
     I believe writing is one way to start!  In order to improve my writing skills, I must practice. I must practice daily and with purpose.  I have to leave my comfort zone.  I have to trust in promise made to myself.  A promise that I would find a better note taking software.  And if I can't trust me...who can I trust? 
     Any suggestions would be appreciated.  
Microsoft OneNote 2010 S26-04133 is not the answer for me, but perhaps it may be for you.

Change The Format Of Blogger's Popular Post Widget

     If you're reading this, you're probably not a 'code warrior'.  You're probably like me.  You can't just sit down and pound out page after page of ampersands, brackets and ampersands. You're more of a tweaker.      That doesn't mean you can't usually get the results you want from a template.  It just means that sometimes you have to search for helpful websites to give you some guidance. Something sort of 'specific' in context, but 'general' in terms of offering the solution. That's what this is.  It's a way to change the way your 'Most Popular Post" module in Google's Blogger application appears on your page.  Currently the widget's choices of formatting are limited to the title, how popular in what number of days, whether you show an image and a snippet of information about the posts, number of posts, and how many of the posts you want to display.  That may not be enough selection for you.  You might w

Keyboard Failed (and so did you)

Everything around you says you aren't performing. It's all digital. It's all data driven. It's all the time.   Relentless reminders of how much you should be doing, seeing, or tasting. You're the only person that's never been to Disneyland, used a smart phone, and are overweight. Here's the reality . It's just data. It has very little to do with you as an individual. It's usually based on averages in a database some propeller head thought up.  Here's a newsflash . The data dobbers are just as goofy as the rest of us. Want proof?

Video Not Available In Your Country Fix

So you just made friends with somebody cool like Paul Bond  . Even though he works for Brix , which is "only" the  4th largest workwear store in Monaghan , he's still got great taste in 'artsy fartsy' stuff. Unfortunately, he's not that bright   aware, when he sends out links sometimes.  Consequently, he sends out links to really cool stuff that YouTube says  'aren't available in your country'. Well, that's simply not true. It is available, and I have no idea why they even want to make you think it isn't. Connectivity is what all this stuff is about.  Or at least that's what I thought when I signed on almost 30 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's not the band that doesn't want you to hear their music, unless of course they are Lars Ulrich .  So what do you do? How to get around this? Read on...
