TOPIC: Jim Gemmell scares the h-e-double hockey sticks out of Dave and our station manager when he talks about how the e-memory revolution, lifelogging, and cloud-based information storage is going to change your life! He and Gordon Bell, both of Microsoft, have written a not-so-little book called “Total Recall,” and we really get into the nitty-gritty of what the coming decade could mean to you – and how you can get ahead of the curve now!
HOMEWORK – yes, this week you’ve got some homework! In addition to Jay Garmon‘s trivia puzzler, please send an email to techtalk@wrlr.fm or leave us a voicemail at 847-984-0847 with one or both of these:

Episode 147 – Fun, Fun, Fun (and getting things done)!

TOPIC: This week it’s just Dave and Mike hanging out and trying to figure out ways that Mike’s cold won’t interfere with the show. Riiiiiicolaaaaa! Mike does spend some time opining about the beauty of using Evernote to completely digitize your life – and breaks out three questions you need to really make it work for you: Will a digital version of your sentimental items be acceptable long-term? Do you have the assurance of permanence with your digitized items that is equivalent or greater than the physical? Can you find (and use) the item easier digitally than physically?
Plus you’ll want to go read this article by Mike Elgan of Computerworld, it’s got some great tips too!
