Each post as a card helps me grasp the function. This card on stones and gems is encouraging. If I only write when I have a gem I won't write as much because I will be worrying about value first. I hope you are still actively living and writing. I would not like to read that you had been found gasping for breath under an avalanch of index cards! I am fascinated by this blog.

Thanks for the Mac application. It looks like indexcard. ;) But same time, I miss a physical touch of paper.

I am fascinated and very grateful for the knowledge contained in this blog. Thank you Hawk for all your efforts. I agree with you when you talk about the tactile and memory advantages to creating a physical index card. And the disadvantages of various digital solutions. But I have just starting using a new MAC program called SlipBox which is designed on the metaphor of an index card. http://markusguhe.net/slipbox/ It maintains all entries in sequential order. Yet the user has the ability of create relationships and links between different entries via "Keywords". You can't draw or illustrate in the program, but you can bring in images and text from other programs. Might find it interesting. Finding the Gems.
