Writing a book or research paper is about more than hammering away at the keys until it’s done. Research, shuffling index cards to find that elusive structure - most software is only fired up after much of the hard work is completed.
Enter Scrivener, a content-generation tool that lets you compose and structure long and difficult documents based on material from multiple sources. Adopted by novelists, screenwriters, journalists, lawyers and academics alike, the program allows users to split the editor and view documents, PDF files, multimedia and other research materials next to each other. A virtual corkboard and outliner help with structuring or providing an overview of the draft. Collate, read and edit related text without affecting its place in the whole using Scrivener’s Collections feature. Close out the world in Full Screen mode. And when you’re finished, export to e-readers or the most popular word processing programs for submission.

Creating in OmniGraffle: a five-step introduction attempt in less than 140 words.
Desired outcome: a new mockup of WebsiteThing.
It’s all possible on the iPad, too. If you’d like, explore a bit more.

Many of you know that I do not write 512 Pixels full-time. My day job is managing the IT/Multimedia Department for a $30 million, 100,000 square-foot community center here in Memphis.
I’m constantly keeping way too many things in the air at once, and it is easy for things to fall between the cracks. Thankfully, I have OmniFocus.
OmniFocus is one of those apps that tailors to the user’s needs — it can be as simple or as complex as one needs it to be. With OmniFocus, I can keep my digital workflow closely mirrored to my workload and responsibilities. Thanks to great features like Projects, Folders and Repeating Tasks, I know my tasks are right where I left them. I know that when I put something in OmniFocus, it is safe and sound, and that the app will remind me of the task when the time comes.
OmniGraffle is the easiest and most elegant way to create website wireframes, process flows, organization hierarchies, and, frankly, almost anything.
Rely on OmniGraffle to create beautifully simple documents to share with anyone. Even through the AppleTV.
Created for both Mac and iPad, OmniGraffle’s smart shapes, stencils and contextual styling elements gracefully guide you from rough outline to pixel perfection.
OmniGraffle is for anyone ages 5 to 105 and is available here.

The iPhone 4S has an amazing camera. This is undisputed. What the iPhone lacks, however, is a tripod thread for mounting it to a tripod. Enter the Glif.
The Glif is a small and simple accessory for mounting your iPhone 4 or 4S to any standard tripod. It also acts as a little kickstand to prop your iPhone up for watching movies, using FaceTime, etc.
CaptureNotes 2 is more than just a note-taking app for the iPad. It lets you record audio while you type.
While there might be other apps that let you take notes and record, CaptureNotes 2 brings an entirely new feature to the experience: Flags.
Flags are intelligent bookmarks, allowing you to place specific marks in time during a recording to follow up on in later review. For example, if you were using CaptureNotes in a class, you could mark things like test questions, text references, follow-up requests, or even make your own custom flag set. In a meeting at work, you could mark action items to follow up on.
Who says the iPad is only for consumption? Textastic brings the power of a desktop text, code, and markup editor to the iPad.
Textastic supports syntax highlighting of more than 80 languages, and if that’s not enough, you can extend it with TextMate-compatible syntax definitions and themes.
The visual find and replace feature and the list of function and class names let you quickly navigate documents. A cursor navigation wheel simplifies text selection and the extra row of keys above the keyboard makes it easy to type common programming characters.
