Scanner?
Evernote makes me want to buy a scanner. Bizarrely, some institutions still insist on transferring information on paper. This does me no good as I am terrible at hardcopy file & retrieval paradigms. Now I can scan everything and dump it to my cloud brain for searching from anywhere. I have no idea what to look for in a scanner, though.

hm, it seems TV commercials have filed away some info in my brain.
this item has been on rotation in the commercials:

might be worth checking out.
i should consider doing the same w/ Evernote, as i have a little too much paper clutter. i'd have to establish some kind of workflow, for those "take care of this" items.
I'm looking at a 50-quid cannon flatbed scanner that seems like it would do the trick.
In evernote, if you want a light-ish to-do workflow, you can use notebooks (every item is a "note" and belongs to a specific notebook), to create a "to-do" or staging notebook. Or you can use tags. There might be other ways as well.
for my home office I have a Brother MFC-5860CN. It's a scanner, fax, and copier. Aside from the expense reports I have to print out for work each month and mail to El Paso, the Brother does a nice job when printing out store coupons, making copies of things to send into insurance companies, scanning old photographs, etc. Traci's macbook doesn't like the Brother though, so be forewarned. Lots of windows-only junk in the marketplace.
I've ordered a fujitsu. We'll see.
