Does anyone else keep their Tarot Journal electronically- ie. on a PC, laptop, handheld?
I keep mine on a Palm T3. Each card is a seperate Word Doucument. I have my Palm on me most of the time, so it's easy to jot down notes / thoughts into the respective Word Doc.
When I get home I synchronise the docs to my PC.
I also have tons of articles / reviews / etc; from Aeclectic, loaded onto the Palm, so I can have a quick read in the Lunch hour!
Take care,
Regards,
Ian

I have a Palm Tungsten W and carry some readings people have done for me. I don't often refer to them during the day but if something difficult happens I might.
I carry some poetry and the like with me as well, and an astrology program so that I can check transits and do quick charts for people.
I do a formal journal on a blog as well, under a pen name. Doing it like this provides added impetus to be thoughtful and committed to it. With blogs you can upload graphics like card images and photographs.
Friends can see it as well.

I recently started keeping a paper journal, but I also have a blog that I email links, spread descriptions, and daily draws to. It's not a public blog, though. I set it up so that I would ALWAYS have access to it, from work or home. (Blogger.com allows you to email posts to your blog, and I've done that at least as often as I've updated it by adding a post via blogger.)
Plus, lately, whatever I've been writing in the journal has been making its way into the "Gilded Daily Draw" thread over on the Your Readings forum. :)
Definitely, though, I've found the blog to be a handy tool that I can update from anywhere.
P.S. It's been invaluable as a "save this thought" tool when I'm reading the posts in the BNU Tarot class. If someone posts a bunch of links, or a new spread, etc, I copy/paste it and email it to my blog right away. It's VERY handy because there are so many posts in that class, if I didn't have a way to make a note of the posts that catch my interest immediately, it'd be a major chore to try and track those posts down later.
