Google Docs and Evernote will both store your text data on their servers. I've used both for keeping my diary, but I'm moving over to Evernote completely now. Here's a python program I wrote that downloads all of your Google Docs from a particular folder and puts them into an Evernote notebook: gdocs2evernote.zip (Windows only)

A calculator that could do arithmetic on time, like 5:13*2 + 10:50 = 21:16, would be handy. So I built it. Download Timelab to try it! You'll need python to run Timelab (macs already have this installed).

If you discard color, a 100x100 pixel image has 10,000 pieces of information--one for each pixel. Consider each image a data point. To plot them, you'd need graph paper with 10,000 axes, because each pixel's value tells you the position of the image (data point) along the corresponding dimension. And you thought images were 2-D.
