I used to use OneNote. It's pretty neat, and a lot of people seem to love it. It strikes me, now, as a great program that was purposely crippled, but you may end up liking it. I've read that a lot of people are using TikiWiki and the like, but I don't love that.

I just clicked through on EverNote. Nevermind.

What am I neverminding? Because they're so similar?

Hijack!

OneNote and EverNote certainly look like the same product, though I assume EverNote isn't crippled.

Is Ogged taken, or is Oggedsreallastname taken?

Let us know how you like it. I don't have the time to evaluate all of the different programs. What's the basic difference between base camp and backpack?

Re: 4 Failure.

Ogged, we really need a post about Tom Cruise's pregnancy. Maybe several.

That's not a baby. He filled her full of Thetans.

And she was planning to remain a virgin until she married. oops.

I thought that the Thetans were setroyed in the intergalactic war. Or was that Xanadu?

Really quite depressed that she's pregnant. She was a worthy heir to the Meg Ryan GND thing. Now she's a worthy heir to the present Ryan. It turns out we are moving backwards as a culture.

Uh, what's the point of telling everybody? Or was it already published elsewhere?

what's the betting that "My Son Calls Another Man Daddy" by Hank Williams will be on his next album?

And she was planning to remain a virgin until she married.

What makes you think she isn't? Besides that, I mean.

Personally, I suspect that all of this is foretold on a Hubbard-authored cocktail napkin somewhere.

(And for the Scientological record: thetans still exist; they infest our bodies, which is why we don't have access to our natural godlike powers)

But how is it, then, that upon ridding oneself of thetans and regaining said godlike powers, one is said to become an operating thetan?

You hear that knocking on your door? They're coming to kill you now. You are not to point out Scientological contadictions!

17: because thetans are spiritlike entities. The thinking is that they're traumatized and disoriented (by a number of things, the most important of which is Xenu's mass-murder of frozen thetans in a nuclear explosion on primordial ear -- sorry, "Teegeeack").

As you awaken the thetans haunting your body they take off. Eventually you are declared "clear" -- it's just you in there. And then you have your natural thetan powers.

Except, of course, that additional classes of persistent thetans keep being found (e.g. ones that were hypnotized; ones that were drugged). The auditing process gets harder (several hours a day, 365 days a year) and more expensive, and there are more and more ways to fail and have to start over. They periodically invent new levels (they go well beyond OT-3 -- there's a "New Operating Thetan" sequence after OT-something or other).

Eventually you either quit, go broke, or get absorbed into the church hierarchy.

As always: xenu.net

Also, ones that hate to dance and hate people telling them to dance and were made by Xenu to dance.

re 11: May be she's the Virgin Katie. And her baby daddy is L. Ron Hubbard. I mean, that's as realistic as the baby Jeebus, right?

13. That's awfully quick to find out it's not your child, isn't it? Musta looked quite different.

Anyway, are there any lengths Tom Cruise won't go to trying to convice us he's straight? This is just getting desperate.
