A new, expanded version of the "Evernote Essentials" ebook, just out, with a 20% discount until Sept. 9

One application I've come to utterly depend on is Evernote. I use it on my Macs, iPad and iPod touch. For curator of information like me, it's something I wouldn't want to be without.

From the man who literally wrote the ebook on it, Brett Kelly, is the new, v2 of "Evernote Essentials." He's upped the content to 95 pages (10 more than the original). He's giving free updates to those who bought the original version (as I did). I don't know of any other current manual or book on Evernote, even from Evernote themselves.

And here's his limited-time-only discount:

"To celebrate the long-awaited arrival of version 2.0, I’m offering a 20% discount on Evernote Essentials from now through Friday, September 9. Just use the coupon code “FINALLY” during checkout."

Full disclosure: I'm an Evernote Essentials Affiliate, so if you buy via this link:

I get a portion of the purchase price (but you pay no more).

I recently watched a movie, new to DVD, called “The Bang Bang Club” about 4 photojournalists in S. Africa covering the 4 years up to Mandela’s election. Joao Silva was one of those four in the “Club”, co-authored the book on which the movie was closely based, gave key advice to the makers of the movie. (The movie isn’t a documentary, but is based on fact and made to be as authentic as they could, including key locations in which the actual violence occurred.)

Since my original post, I saw a tweet from the New York Times Sept. 2 that they’ve hired him as a staffer, not just using him as a freelance photographer. :-)
