# Toolkit for the Technically Aware

Brendon Connelly hits almost on all cylinders with [this post](http://www.slackermanager.com/slacker_manager/2005/05/the_context_agn.html). I was shocked to see someone who relies on almost exactly the same toolbox (in a different configuration) as I do.

I have never been able to gracefully integrate a PDA into my life. I have tried 4 times, and all 4 have failed miserably. I am a pen and paper man for contacts, appointments, etc.

Outlook Calendar is good for business meetings...but for the rest of your life?

The one tool that he doesn't mention: Google. I know that it is so omnipresent that it is easy to miss, but if you do fewer than 5 Google searches a day, and you work in high-tech...what do you do?
