There was an essay a long time ago, a writer had been filing every link and every note into a pre-Evernote piece of notetaking/hyperlinking/PIM software, something with an X or a Z in the name, but I can't recall it or the piece. The essay was about an article he was writing during which the software brought up a saved article and a note he had written, and forgotten about, in a creepily timely and seemingly prescient moment. He wondered at what point the software needs to get credit for providing the research and the associations.

Was it Steven Johnson describing how he uses DevonThink (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/30/books/review/30JOHNSON.htm...)?

Yes! Great!

I notice there's no X or Z in DEVONthink, but there is a V.

I also notice the author of the custom software he used before that was Pinboard's Maciej Ceglowski. Fascinating!
