A Peek Inside My Google Notebook

Next in a series of posts which I like to call 'Google Application Data That Would Be Really Useful To Anyone Stalking Me': a bunch of clippings from my Google Notebook.

In case you're not familiar with it, Google Notebook is an unobtrusive little application that lives in your browser. It allows you to highlight anything (text, images, video), right-click it and save the whole thing in a little pop-up notebook. Google then remembers the data you saved and the page it came from.

I've been using it for months, but to be honest there's not a whole lot in my notebook. I only save things in there when I remember to use it, and anyway, my personal note-taking/idea-jotting system is fragmented across at least six different media (Let's see: Moleskine notebook, pocket-sized notepad, desktop note-taking application, an actual word processor, Google Reader's 'Star' system, and Google Notebook), and the choice of which one I'll use for any given note is largely arbitrary.

Still, looking at it now, there's some interesting shit in there. Some links are frankly fantastic and deserving of another read (the mystical President of Slovenia), while others have me scratching my head as to why I noted them in the first place ('Auditory Side Effects Of Anti-Convulsant Drugs'? Hmm).

Anyway, here's the link. There's bound to be something cool in there.
