Nota Bene: The OneNote Blog : Learn from a pro: Real-world draft management in OneNote 2007.
Video screencast of a writer discussing their use of OneNote for draft management. This video underlines my growing dissatisfaction with this program–the writer is essentially overtaken by the binder metaphor, and ends up thinking of it explicitly like a file cabinet. This is fine if this is useful for you (although SVN, I think, is more useful/easy to use), but I want more from my program. Am exploring DevonThink and Tinderbox with the new Mac mini in my office, and thinking that I can shlep it back and forth pretty easily if these become mission critical apps. Just worried about getting distracted by tinkering and not enough content creation. But then again, tinkering is what I’m studying . . . .
My personal feelings aside, good video representing techne and writing process.

Holy crap! You got a Mac?
I’d be curious to know what you think of Omnioutliner. I’ve been using that since my switch from Windows to Mac. The basic version usually comes free on Macs.
Yeah, I already had a two-monitor setup with my Dell at school, and couldn’t think of anything else big to buy with my start-up money. The Mac mini was cheap, so I sprang for it. I’m already thinking about DevonThink and Tinderbox to organize notes, but am wary to have to shlep the Mac back and forth. I’ll check out Omnioutliner too.
