How often have you heard the expression
"I'll put
that on the long finger"? - well now you
can!
The Long Finger takes the form of an
extendable
tape measure, only instead of being
calibrated in
feet and inches it has a blank surface
marked off
at uneven intervals with memorable
names of
your choice.
When you want to make a note of
something, (especially something you
may never get around to actually doing -
see link for
explanation) you
simply extend the tape as you would
when you
were about to make a measurement.
When
you
reach the most appropriate name of
association,
you write your short note on the tape.
Extra tapes come in the form of "drop in"
cassettes, so that they can be kept for
future
reference.
