I use Evernote to keep all of my notes and photos of important pieces of paper like receipts, prescriptions, whiteboards, etc. Droid Scan lets you take even better scans of physical things and keep them in your Evernote notebook.

Wow, too cool!
During last night's insane storm I grabbed a fun shot of the lightning and some video of the flooding. Gothamist quickly picked up my images, then the Daily News, and from the DN Yahoo posted my image to their front page! Wow, how fun to be a hobbyist photographer during the age of the Internet.
Here's a screen capture of the Yahoo front page.
I was having dinner and I noticed the lightning. I raced outside and managed to grab one photo before the rain hit. The lightning continued as I had dinner and then I heard a terrible noise. I looked outside and it was hailing like crazy, so I hid away from the windows. I finally peeked out and saw the streets flooding like crazy! All of the white stuff in the street is hail that fell over a matter of a few minutes. What is going on?!
The lightning is still quite bad, and seems to be getting closer. I can only imagine what that flooding is doing to the neighborhood. And this is all after the tornado we had a few weeks ago.
update1 : photos/videos got picked up by Gothamist and Tweeted out by NYDailyNews.
update 2: The Daily News also used it and a screen grab of my video on their article which was picked up and promoted to Yahoo's front page.
update 3: The Wall Street Journal Metropolis blog used the photo.

Tim Gunn joins the celebrity efforts to reach out to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth by telling a heart-wrenching story of his attempt to take his own life and how it can/will get better.
I am not sure that I would share this with students, but can only imagine that young people are stumbling across it via one of their favorite online venues, YouTube.
