## Explanation

This was my end of 2012 software inventory.  The goal was to identify all of the things I use software for, evaluate what the best software was to use for those use cases, and then commit to using that software for all of 2013.  The goals were simplicity, productivity, and a more focused approach to the tools I use.

## Use Cases & Solutions
