 Microsoft OneNote for racers - example
 

Here's a example of using Microsoft OneNote for racers. The team manager is using a picture of a track, and annotating it using pen input on a TabletPC. Handwriting can be converted to text, video and audio can be stored as well. An entire "tour" of a track could be built... 

The example speaks for itself!

Download the full white paper from the pervious post on Onenote for Racers.

 Microsoft OneNote for racers
 

In the highly competitive world of auto racing, teams of drivers and engineers need to quickly and easily share information to improve car performance.

Until recently, the NASCAR team Target Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates used pen and paper to document critical race and performance issues, but that information was difficult to share. Also, engineers in the office used multiple tools and time-consuming steps to gather and distribute their notes, drawings, and Web research on car designs.

Now, teams collaborate by capturing and sharing information with Microsoft® Office OneNote® 2003. Engineers at the track use the information to immediately modify the car for better performance, and engineers in the office analyze the data to design car components and plan strategies to help win future races.

Download the white paper from the link above.

 "Napkin Math" in OneNote 2007
 

Here I am with uncounted thousands of "notes" in Microsoft OneNote, and along comes a great new feature I didn't even realize it had - a built in calculator. Not a tool that you have to launch, but built in.

Try this. Open OneNote 2007, type this in:

88.7-4.6-2.9-11.3+6.5=

hit the space bar or enter and you get this:

88.7-4.6-2.9-11.3+6.5=76.4

And so on for even more complex calculations.

Thanks to Chris Pratley's OneNote Blog for the heads-up, and to his team for creating OneNote - which is probably the #1 tool I use today! I've said it before here, I have three instances of OneNote 12 installed (having replaced all of my Office 2003 with Office 2007 already). Creative tools like those of Office make for more creative and organized people like me!
