Bulletin board for my laptop?

Anybody know if there's a software program out there that works like a bulletin board on one's computer -- i.e. a virtual workspace on which I can create and "tack" stickies or post-its or index cards and move them around, just like I do in my physical-world office?

I've gotten halfway there by using You Control Desktops (on my MacBook) to open a 2nd desktop/workspace, turning the background gray, and sticking Stickies all over it. But the only way I can save the whole thing at once is by taking a screenshot. If my system crashes, or if I have to shut down and restart, I'll have to create all 60-plus stickies from scratch -- not ideal.

Any suggestions?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
