I learned some important things from the speakers over the weekend, and took
quite a bit of notes on some. I'm wondering how others out there handle this?
What do you do with the information you gather at conferences and in books you
read for personal and professional development?

I'm looking to nail down a system I can easily reference and keep up on all I'm

much as possible. It's not enough for me to mark up books I read and go back to
them later. Any thoughts?
