I’ve been using an online tool for the past several months that is a fantastic handy thing: PBwiki.com

It’s a free online wiki that you have set as private or public. What’s a wiki? It’s kind of like creating your own web of links, your own little website, that you can use to organize all sorts of things and information. You don’t need to know HTML to edit or add to it, so it’s super easy.

I’ve used mine to make Christmas present idea lists, remind myself of important dates during the semester, dates Tom will be away on interview trips, paste quotes I liked, list book recommedations, list links I don’t want to get lost in my hundreds of browser favorites, etc. It’s been great for my knitting hobby because I’ve listed links to various online patterns that I eventually want to knit (along with links to pictures of the finished objects), as well as a list of patterns in particular pattern books so I can figure out which Rowan or Rebecca would be worth buying someday. Basically, you can use PBwiki for anything you might need it for. It’s invaluable to me while I’m at work: I have access to the internet, and write myself notes there all the time.

They have a tour, or you can just check it out directly:

(They say setting up a pb wiki is as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich, hence the cute logo.)
