Sacred Order of the External Mind

Along the lines of my recent "best thing ever" discovery, I invite you enjoy an ode to the euphoria of accepting the backup brain.

Today's edition of The Best Thing Ever

Today I found out about Jott.com. It lets you call from your cell phone and leave messages that will be transcribed and sent to your e-mail, or the e-mail of anyone else you can get to sign up. You can capture all the thoughts that rattle around in your head while you walk to the train or shop for groceries or wait for someone at a coffee shop. You can write down someone's e-mail address and have it appear exactly where you need it. When you read something interesting, you can send a note to yourself, and it will be paperless and searchable. You can set it to send a text message reminder to your phone 10 minutes before the appointment you keep forgetting.

I heart the internet.
