note on Yojimbo:
P.S. Yojimbo is a fantastic partner to work alongside BBEdit for quickly storing your files for viewing. The benefit of this is that you can use BBEdit to simply write, and you can use Yojimbo to view, store, collect, and take out pretty much anything your mind can think of. This is so fantastic because it is intuitively how we organize information even in the real world as well, part of the "stutter" that happens with human/computer interaction is when things are not intuitive. By providing this metaphorical interface, Yojimbo is infinitely ahead of the cloud game which, although may be fast and can store more data "online", is terrible for the environment and doesn't lead to actual real-world outputs.
