It’s rare that I get to discuss my two great passions, politics and technology, within the same context, but the day has come. The Obama campaign has released an iPhone application that, I think, is a sign of what we’re going to see in politics in the coming

Note: This is part two of a two-part series. To read part 1, click here. In the first article, I explained how I would keep my handouts and school emails organized. There are two other things that need organized, however — tasks and events, and work done on my computer.
