Simplenote: notes made simple
Ok, I know. There are plenty of programs devoted to the useful task of storing your notes. One that’s very nice is surely Evernote. It’s really great. I use it for my attempt to move toward a paperless world (anyway, before I reach my paperless status I’d need not to forget to scan a lot of document – which I’m definitively too lazy to do).
But wait. Another service which I’m going to love more each day, is Simplenote. It’s perceptively more minimalistic in respect to Evernote, it’s easy to use, it has all the (nowadays) mandatory apps for Android and iOS (now it’s also coming a Mac app, which I’m eagerly waiting). Moreover, notwithstanding its apparent simplicity, it has a lot of interesting features.
Taking advantage of the existence of different services, I decided some times ago to use Simplenote only as a laboratory for my creative writing attempts. It is a good thing to keep them separate from the rest of the daily stuff. Moreover, the fact that one can easily navigate trough the various revisions of a document, it’s deeply appreciated when one comes to creative writing, as you can easily understand.
Now when I enter Simplenote I feel more like home, in company of words and thought I like and that are mine. Not too different, I guess, as a painter can feel while he enter in the room where he works.
Simplenote is interesting in this regards, also because my preferred tools for writing, which is Scrivener, can exchange data with this service. So it’s all connected – once again. 😉

Voyager 1 is finally at the border of the Solar System. We’re going interstellar, baby!
Here is one of the farthest noise you’ll ever listen to…
Voyager, this song is for you 😉
Let’s get colorful!
Admittedly, I cannot escape from feeling a sort of pervasive excitement when Apple finally reveals its new products, as it happened just a few days ago. This time, I was very curious to see the “new” iPhone and mainly to understand if it could be really much better than the classic iPhone 5 (which I own, in passing).
Now that I realized that the differences between the new phones and mine are not-so-incredible, I can relax a bit… I am just curious, now, to see if this colorful iPhones will be appreciated by the people. The idea seems nice, anyway. On a minor side, I do not like very much the new case that comes with the iPhone.
In particular, the back side – with all those holes – does not excite me at all. I checked Apple website for specific info about the case: they says that…
From the beginning, the iPhone 5c Case was envisioned as a significant part of the colorful experience. Every detail was meticulously considered…
Well, maybe. Maybe that every details was meticulously considered. But the holes of the cover let you see only a little part of the writing “iPhone” of the back side, and the overall effect seems a bit ugly , at my a first impression.
Ok, I am talking about a detail, I know. The iPhones are high quality products, nothing to say on this side. Anyway, maybe I’m not alone in this perplexity?

iPhoto
Ok, iPhoto is a good program, no doubt. But when you must extract a single photo from your archive, for example to publish it on your blog, it turns out that it’s scarcely collaborative (to be fair…)
