I'm off visiting a set of archives for the rest of this week - Karen Tonso and I are trying to cook up a cool research idea (to expand into a manuscript) about engineering and identity in relation to this project.

I have loved EverNote for keeping track of all my projects, and once I figure out the new Sharing feature I think I will use it to manage collaborations and share info too. Good luck!
