So the way the Junkie funds addiction is with a day job.  During the day, I find myself on many occasions commenting on or looking at a web page, screen mockup or graphic and wanting to comment / annotate in some form.  Enter Skitch. Skitch  enables a user to capture an image, or open a document, not for editing in the traditional sense, but rather as a canvas upon which free hand drawing, text, boxes, circles and arrows to name just a few.  It can be used to markup, comment and create something all your own.   At the JunkieZone we utilize Skitch Plus to create just about all of the screen captures (except the screen shots of Skitch Plus itself, for that we used Jing - Which could probably lead to esoteric Use Case conversation with an R&D team.)  Skitch is a great application for annotating just about anything.  It also works with tablets and smoothes and straightens free handed lines to give them a professional look and feel.   The graphic tool set is basic if compared

Deleted Notes You decide one day you are going to clean up your Evernote Notes, and then accidentally delete click delete on a note that you did not want to lose. Oops!   Overwritten Notes One day I am updating a long running note containing important data that I need to inevitably reference once or twice a year at most.  One day not long ago, after completing a
