Knowledge Center on USB key
This idea really appeals to me. Carry something like this on
your USB key all the time. Take notes, jot ideas. Visit a
colleague, friend, etc and share information. Now the only
drawback I've found thus far is that while the Roller demo bundle only
needs like 24 megs (which fits on my 32 meg USB key, just fine), to run
you have to have the Java Developer Kit installed. That, I think,
is the rub. I downloaded the kit (100ish megs), but haven't
installed it. I'm looking at this as a truly portable
device. Sometime I could take to a public computer even. So
the problem is public computers wouldn't have the JDK installed and you
couldn't install it. And if you visit a friend…they might not
want that installed (the installer doesn't fit on my key anyway).

WikidPad
might work, but it isn't free (yes, it's only $12, I know). One
of the comments on the post is interesting. Loading up a USB key
with several applications like blogs, wikis, calendar, etc. Apps
on the go. I've heard of doing that with an e-mail application,
but I don't remember which one.

This is certainly an interesting idea and worth pursuing a bit.
