There really ARE apps for all that!

First, a top five list - notable for a different flashcard application (I still like Quizlet a lot), another graphing calculator to try, and Evernote which I actually like and use. I'm planning to try the project app soon. Here's the link.

Next, here's a list from Lifehacker for the Mac Student

Continuing our Apple/Mac theme, here are 8 more.

And this' year's updates list from AppStorm here.

Know what doesn't work very well? Those big paper calendars that lie flat on your desk. Seems like it would be handy to write on, easy to see for reminders, etc. The reality? That's where I put stuff down or spread my work out on the desk, covering it up.

There's gotta be an app for that, right?

I want what I once had. Yes, I am now that old, that I can write something like that.

I used to have a Palm Pilot - this was grade school, 5th grade I think. Probably my mom's old one or something. But here's the thing:  I had this great program for homework and studying, and I didn't appreciate it then. I want one like it now.

Using a stylus, you pecked around on the screen's drop down boxes, selecting options in ever increasing detail. Homework? Which subject? Worksheet, read pages __-__, study for test, project, paper, or other? Due date? Need more than one day? Want reminders? and so on.

Then you could set up a whole other set of reminders under "Need to take home" and "Need to bring to school"

And it populated a calendar as well as a To Do list.

How awesome is that?

It was called "Shadow Warrior" or something and it could be customized.

I am on a mission to find one like it.
