Cornell-style notes
I had never heard of this before, but it’s pretty engrossing. I give you, a new note-taking method (paper template):
A special way of taking notes that forces you to consider both details and the main points in a lecture, the Cornell note-taking system seems like a perfect thing to be learning about just before school starts.
Essentially, you write the main points to the left in the smaller area, and the detailed, stream-of-conciousness notes in the larger area to the left. It forces you to pick out the key takeaways even during the note-taking process.
There’s even a company, cornellstylenotes.com, that sells little notebooks for $8.00 shipped! I was expecting far more, so it’s pretty sweet.
You can also download templates for the style here.

This is like a web developer pinup photo.
With a new 24″, 1920×1000 resolution monitor, a new chair, and a daylight lamp, I am in pixel heaven.
Thank god for Craigslist connections happening to be other Web developers who need to move soon and were super generous and friendly!
