Total Recall

I read a article in FastCompany about 3 years ago about a guy who carried around a video camera and recorded every waking moment of his day and had done so for several years. He could literally, at any time, reference exact conversations he had, places he went, things he saw, people he met—to the second. Essentially he had an external HD brain that, unlike the human brain, had precise memory recall at any moment.

We might not be at "every second of the day" yet but Evernote seems to be a step in that direction. Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere.

Plus the logo is pretty clever. An elephant never forgets!
