Digital Notes
I love Evernote.
I'm starting to experiment with Notational Velocity on my MacBook Pro synced via SimpleNote.
Both Mimi Ito and Fiona Hovenden use the LiveScribe Echo, which allows you to sync notes with recordings (taken in the pen itself). I find this very compelling, despite the pen's need for special paper. LiveScribe also has Evernote-integration. Amazon reviews are good. Plus, there are nice looking, Moleskine-like notebooks.
I also thought about the Iogear Mobile Digital Pen, which doesn't require special paper, but the reviews are mediocre.
Paper Notes
Use // or a different color for comments/annotations.
"AI" for action items. Perhaps switch to a checkbox and other symbols.

- Cornell Note-taking method -- not something that seems particularly useful for me. I'm far more interested in visual note-taking.
