Research tools for writers
Kottke pointed to Stephen Johnson's entry about the tool that he uses for doing research on his computer. He uses a program called DevonThink, available only for the Mac. It allows him to search quotations for keywords that he's saved over the years. The beauty of the system is that it then allows him to search for quotes that are semantically related to the first text; and on and on. The key is the collection of quotes that he's accumulated, not an easy task.
