gridnote
A grid of sticky notes. GridNote is a webpage of sticky notes that you can use to jot down things you need to remember (like a timesheet log, or restaurant prices, or calorie counts). GridNote uses a cookie to remember your notes - no database is involved, so your privacy is protected. These sticky notes are perfectly laid out for you. If you've got a third monitor or some extra screen real estate, try putting GridNote there.
