31 Days of Spring Cleaning: Convert Paper Notes to Digital

Neon-colored Post-its all over your workstation certainly may brighten the surroundings, but it's doing nothing for your productivity or organizational skills.

Neon-colored Post-its all over your workstation certainly may brighten the surroundings, but it's doing nothing for your productivity or organizational skills. Get with the digital jotting and convert the mess of paper stickies ruling your life into neatly organized electronic notes and reminders. Sign up for these apps and websites to stay on your game. And if you really can't let go of the Day-Glo vibe, use their powers for good by crafting a pixelated mural on your wall with the remaining Post-its.

  • Evernote — Capture an idea online, on your phone, tablet, desktop, basically anywhere, and it will sync with your entire Evernote account. Record in various mediums including voice, photos, texts, you name it.
  • Simplenote — For collaborating types, choose this app to share brainstorming notes and keep the team spirit going.
  • Grocery IQ — Build a smart grocery list in this app that will keep you on budget, add more items with the scan of a bar code, organize lists by store, and even download coupons for major savings.
  • Pinterest — People use Pinterest in all sorts of ways, from a style board to a recipe box. Create boards based on any and every subject on which you've found yourself writing paper notes.
  • Oh, Don't Forget . . . — You likely keep Post-its around, worried you'll miss an important deadline. Let the magical mind of computers do the worrying for you. Enter a reminder message, and the service will send your cell a text at the time you appointed.

What online source do you use to keep organized?

Redbox Instant Streaming Is Now Open For Business

The movie rental company Redbox teamed up with Verizon last year to launch the invite-only beta of Redbox Instant, which is now opening its virtual scarlet-hued doors to all US subscribers.

The movie rental company Redbox teamed up with Verizon last year to launch the invite-only beta of Redbox Instant, which is now opening its virtual scarlet-hued doors to all US subscribers. Redbox may be in for a tough fight against the likes of Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, and Hulu Plus, but the movie streaming service has a little somethin' that gives it a small edge over its competitors.

After a free one-month trial period, Redbox Instant costs $8 a month, which is the same subscription price as Netflix and Hulu Plus (Amazon's $79 per year fee is slightly cheaper). In addition to instant unlimited access to streaming movies, Redbox is offering four DVD credits at its kiosks, found at grocery stores and big box retailers nationwide. But it's important to remember that Redbox is missing a major component: TV shows.

The credits for physical DVDs are most likely offered to compensate for Redbox Instant's small library of movies online. Yet, despite the lack of older films, Redbox Instant has an impressive amount of some of the year's most popular blockbusters, like Argo, The Hunger Games, Brave, and The Dark Knight Rises.

In terms of how you can stream, Redbox offers an app for iOS and Android, plus Mac, PC, or Xbox 360.

We have more choices than ever when it comes to streaming movies online — will you choose Redbox Instant now that it's open for business?

Whoa, Algebraic! New Adventure Time USB Drives From Mimobot

Get the math out: Mimobot has a new flash drive from the world of Adventure Time, Cartoon Network's show about a boy in a hat and a magical dog, that's too cute to compute.

Get the math out: Mimobot has a new flash drive from the world of Adventure Time, Cartoon Network's show about a boy in a hat and a magical dog, that's too cute to compute. The all-in-one rainbow-loving robot BMO is reimagined as a USB-compatible memory transport, alongside his Land of Ooo comrades Finn, Jake, and Princess Bubblegum.

The adorable flash drive will have you "bowing to your sensei" in five different capacities: 8GB ($20), 16GB ($30), 32GB ($40), 64GB ($70), and 128GB ($130). Mimobot is making BMO in limited quantities; there are only 2,000 hand-numbered drives to go around, so you better get your hands on Adventure Time's cutest character before time runs out.

As all Mimobots do, BMObot comes with tons of icons, avatars, wallpapers, and screensavers to deck out your devices with digital Adventure Time goodies. Mathematical!

Are you a fan of the animated series? Tell us who your favorite character from Ooo is!
