These days I'm using a TextMate project, which is my entire current-work folder. Everything that I'm working on or thinking about is in there as a text file, and I find it convenient to reach it all from within TextMate itself.
I spent a long time trying to get Mori, Devon(Note|Think), Journler, etc to behave like this and do the right thing with text files, but none of them did. This is as close as I can get to what I want.
In this Oct. 1973 photo provided by the U.S. National Archives, participants check out the Exide Battery Sundancer, an early experimental electric car at the First Symposium on Low Pollution Power Systems Development in Ann Arbor, Mich. The photo is part of Documerica, an EPA project during the 1970s in which the agency hired dozens of freelance photographers to capture thousands of images related to the environment and everyday life in America. Modeled after Documerica, the agency has embarked on a massive effort to collect photographs from across the United States and around the world over the next year that depict everything from nature's beauty to humanity's impact, both good and bad.

What if you put the Gulf Coast oil spill off the Virginia coast? Here's what it looks like proportionately. (Obviously an oil spill would not happen EXACTLY like this, with different wind & water current patterns.)

Nutrias are from South America but now live all over the world, imported by humans for their fur. Nutrias thrive in Louisiana but are a major pest. They reproduce fast, burrow into wetlands soil, and eat plants down to the roots, destroying the fragile links that hold the wetlands together. (Bayou Coquille Trail).

This is a picture taken of a beautiful spacious but empty swimming pool which is ideally located on the compound of the Wellesley High Rise Apartments.
It is a crying shame that unfortunately the residents are not allowed to make effective use of this facility. Since residents live in such crowded apartments they should have easy access to outdoor facility which will serve to promote motor skills and encourage them to socialize in the outdoor location.
The pool is almost always deserted and the authorities should provide a resident life guard on site to ensure residents could use the pool under guided supervision.
The residents will be more than willing to enrol their children in swimming classes and pay a fee for the upkeep and maintenance of the facility which unfortunately is left unattended most of the year. What is the benefit of a facility that is not in proper condition for the people to enjoy? If the authorities are unable to provide the proper maintenance it should seek outside help from the office of the mayor or other charitable organizations to assist in the upkeep and efficient running of the facility.
