I feel like I’m having a personal technology renaissance.

  • A long-time user of Evernote, they were acquired by Bending Spoons in recent years and the development team there I think are finally getting it right after about a 5-8 years of laggard progress on a category-defining platform. New & improved features that are breathing new life into my use of the product: (a) Consolidated task management across notes with due date & reminders; (b) Easier and better Note sharing/ syncing with others; (c) Easy note headers/ section collapse with automatic table of contents creation; (d) Single file list view; (e) And others. Thank you and kudos to the Evernote team!

  • And Micro.blog itself, harkening back to the good ol' blog days of yore, updated for lessons learned (good & bad) from the age of social media, providing a platform for expression & good Internet citizenry.

While I know I’m just a ‘single use case’, I do feel like we are in a technology inflection point – To me, at least, 1999-2001 was one and 2010-2012 another. Holding onto hope for the current inflection point! :)
