'Disk-It' may be the only thing saving the flailing floppy disk industry. Floppy disks have unfortunately fallen victim to the march of progress, but that doesn't mean they can't be useful in other areas of life.
Disk-It is pretty awesome. I haven't been so inspired to write a note that sticks to surfaces in a while. Burak Kaynak has reinvigorated my love for sticky reminders. I can't wait to annoy/remind everyone I know.
