Aaron Hillegass, owner of the
Big Nerd Ranch (and the
suavest-looking Mac developer in a cowboy hat), has announced that he's
releasing the source of
his app Pagepacker to the public. Pagepacker, as reported on TUAW a while back, takes big pages and
makes them small-- it's perfect for creating things like
the Hipster PDA and other cool, easy-to-carry around organizational tools. I don't know where our own Mike Rose got this term from, but I love what he calls this stuff in the original Pagepacker post: info-origami. Beautiful.
Hillegass still
has a guide to use the app on his site, and the source is now available to download as well. Maybe some enterprising open source developer can break it open, and add it to another app or make it even better.

Yes please have some! This little gem is highly underrated. Maybe not the greenest method of moving your data around, but awful handy at what it does (and I haven't found anything else like it).

Yes, I totally love it too! Saw it first time at the Cocoa Boot Camp class which I attended earlier this year. Aaron showed it there. As I'm into GTD I also started to think about an own small list app. http://www.memention.com/mylists/
