Google must have read my review and decided to spend some cash and become the owner of JotSpot

Yesterdays download of the day by the Lifehacker:

Camstudio, a freeware tool for making perfect screencasts (Windows)! It saves your recordings in avi but comes with a tool to convert them to streaming flash. You can choos to record full screen or a region you can pick your self.

This screencast shows how you can install camstudio. (Don’t get confused by the almost perfect mac-theme on this windows machine)

Jason Kolb recently wrote 2 articles about how he would like to be able to access his personal data the ipod-way:

“The iPod makes the music part of my life easy. The most important thing it does is make the vast amounts of music that I have accessible and useful. And this got me to thinking. A lot of what I really want to accomplish with technology runs along the same lines. I look at all the data in my life from the perspective of a business-intelligence executive, and I see giant piles of data, none of them talk to each other, and the only systems I currently have to navigate the piles are in the stone age. I want to make those data silos that make up my digital life easy to use for once.”

When reading his articles (Browsing personal data iPod-style and Flattening the Internet with a Personal Data Browser Control), the first thing that popped in my mind was ‘that’s an opml job’. The ipod way of structuring data is just plain simple outlining. I think opml could work perfect to act as a container for this personal info. It can handle links to rss, html and other xml-formats.

Which pieces could we loosely join to create such a personal data browser?

They also have a sync feature for the most important and most widely used handheld device: pen and paper (this really is less stupid then it sounds when you think about it)
