Another bleg (somewhere in the post)

There was a good roundtable discussion in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal discussing corporate social responsibility (CSR). It went into more detail than my post here. The comment that captures my feelings the best was from Fred Smith Jr., founder and president of Competitive Enterprise Institute. “Unfortunately, the CSR approach seeks generally to appease its critics, to apologize for past mistakes, to bribe its opponents. CSR as enlightened self-interest, yes. CSR as appeasement, no.” More succinct than I could have ever put it.

I completely forgot yesterday was Howard Stern’s first day on Sirius. I listened to a free lecture The Teaching Company had sent me for evaluation instead. But I caught the start of yesterday’s show on the replay last night. The best part was the addition of George Takei (Sulu from the original Star Trek series) as an announcer. I tuned in this morning to see what it would be like and forgot I would not be listening to the west coast delay, but the ‘live’ show. So it was almost over—they were doing the news, the least interesting part of the show for me. While not a Stern fan, I think he does very good interviews. Unfortunately, I’ll only be able to listen during my commute and the timing doesn’t look good to catch any guests. Oh well, back to Bloomberg radio and the classic radio programs I normally listen to. I’m happy my wife got me satellite radio regardless if I catch Stern or not.

OK, another question for everyone. I constantly run across articles on a wide range of topics with information I would like to keep. For examples, the topics may include great places to stay when visiting a particular island or resource guides for people wanting to get a teacher’s certificate. I would love to keep this information handy, but it may be some time before I’ll need it. I’ve tried several different systems--from simply clipping the article, to notes on my PDA (which I really don’t use anymore), to writing down the information in a notebook. Nothing really seems to capture a handy way to organize, retain, and make available the information I want. Do you have an organization system for retaining information that you may use later?
