I use Evernote for all my serious text storage needs, but nvAlt (a really great fork of NV linked elsewhere) is just so damn fast that capturing whatever random bit of information is frictionless. I tend to use it these days as a scratchpad: git SHAs, URLs to check out later that I don't want to save to pinboard, tasks for the next hour (try putting @done at the end of a line!)... Make nvAlt save its notes as txt files to your Dropbox to get syncing across computers.
