Elephant never forget!

Elephant never forget!
And that is why it was chosen for the icon of a note-taking software, the  Evernote.
I think I am safe to say that elephants do forget eventually, just that they have a much superior memory as compared to other animals. Anyway, before I gone too far into animal facts, lets get back to the main subject of this post.
I begin to use Evernote few weeks ago for note taking (mostly for information from the internet), saving website addresses (in place of bookmarking which only accessible through the computer you bookmarked them - very frustrating sometime), and making to-do list. One very convenient feature about Evernote is that it provide you with an account. Once logged in, you can synchronize your notes created from different computers (in my case, between the one at home and at the office). So you can access your notes, whenever and wherever, for as long as you have access to the internet. Hmm how can we live without the internet if more and more things like this get into our life?

When I started it, my initial plan wasn't actually to get a note taking software. I was figuring how to make a To-Do check list along with the Google Calender (GC). As you know (if you are a GC user) the GC only reminds us about the upcoming events. So, how about the things needed to be done? Depends on your mum? or your wife? Of cause they are often kind enough to keep 'reminding' you about the things you needed to do, by telling you when to eat, when to take both, etc... but... you know what I mean. We are talking about the To-Do list, not those to-do list (although I must agree that they are important too, in fact, the most vital things to do in life)... okay, lets get back to the main track of the post.

As I am looking for a way to create a To-Do list along side the GC, I found that GC has a feature which allows us to add gadget in it. One of the gadget is the Evernote gadget. (to learn how http://www.vikitech.com/563/easily-add-evernote-gadget-to-your-gmail-and-google-calendar)   
Once I added the Evernote in my GC, now I can keep track of my to-do list which I created in the Evernote program. Their combination is a perfect solution for people like me who has bad memory!
Now, as long as I can access the internet, and provided that I didn't forget my Evernote log in identity, I'll have the superb memory just like elephant :)
