When I'm away from a computer, I stick to loose paper products. For lecture notes, this means US Letter copy paper. For scribble notes, this means 3x5 notecards. I'm looking to get a sheet-feed scanner to digitize all of this eventually.

When I'm at my computer, I use a mixture of OneNote and Emacs org-mode. I have a Tablet PC, and I make a point of abusing OneNote for handwriting recognition.

When I have a note or set of notes reasonably finalized in OneNote, it's just a matter of copying the recognized text into an Emacs buffer and making a mark on the note in OneNote saying that I'm now tracking it in org-mode.
