This document discusses the tools used by Dan Brinkmann to consume, organize, and create data. It outlines the RSS feeds, Twitter, and Pocket apps he uses to gather content from across the web. It also describes the Office Suite, Evernote, Google Docs, WordPress, and OmniGraffle tools he leverages to consolidate insights and produce new written works, diagrams, and blog posts. He is still on the lookout for solutions that can manage follow-up tasks and allow sharing of data across all of his devices.
