“An idea pops up my mind” 
OK! Imagine this. It’s a nice day, and you’re away from home and from your working cubicle. While talking to your friends, or seeing some billboard along the way, or just doing the routine exercise, an idea pops up your mind.
Do you want to note it down? Of course you do, for a million reasons. Ideas sell these days.
“I need a pen and paper”
So you’ll need a pen and a piece of paper. “Oh my, why can’t I find one!” you think.
“But wait, there’s a PC right here”
Sounds cool. Computers are around: airports, public places, internet café, libraries.etc., and you have just spotted one you can use. Typing the idea to a connected PC makes it easier to save, edit and send the information.
You turn on the machine, go to the address of your mailbox, and prepare to login. Wait a sec!
“Excuse me, anybody watching?”
You might want to turn around to see if anybody is behind your back peeping your user name and password. “Phew, no one.” you relieved.
I beg your attention. Are you sure there is no one?
“Of course there is no one beside me. Are you hallucinated?” you’re getting irritated.
For your sake, I am still sane. I wonder if you have heard of keyl.ogg.er. It is a program that monitors your activities on the computer: it tracks all websites you visit and applications you launch, records all keys you type in the text boxes. It sees your user name and password and snitch your account to some a guy usually known as ha.cker. Scary?
So you see, whether you log into your Gmail, MySpace account, Google Notebook, blog, music website, all your accounts are revealed.
Solution
I am here to tell you a tip on how to take notes securely without having to authenticate yourself to any login form, and in style too 
If you have got a Blogger, or a WordPress blog, simply note down anything you want as a comment. You can always proceed with these drafts when you have returned to the safety of your well-protected PC.
If you haven’t got one, setting up a blog is easy: just go to blogger.com or wordpress.com for a free blog. Well, just that you need to do this before hand because they require you to open an confirmation email, which requires you to login your mailbox.
Why in style?
Ah, there are certainly other alternative ways to take notes online without authentication. For example, some forums allow Guest to post information.
However, a blog is more stylish than a forum, correct? Furthermore, posting comments to your own blog gives you full and more personalized control.
Not only you do it, you do it in style!
