I joined Myke and Terry again today to discuss a whole bunch of stuff I don’t know nearly as much about as I should. Please take the episode title as sarcastically as possible.

I have to admit, I get a tiny bit annoyed when I see people blog about “going back to paper.” It always feels a bit like they’re just trying to buck a trend1. That being said, I appreciate paper for its two strongest points: speed and ubiquity. I can almost always find something to write on faster than I can load up a notes app on my iPhone.
