I hadn't even thought of the back of the hand -- that's great. I once
had both my thumbs broken at the same time and walked about with both
arms in casts -- had I been so inclined, they might have made for a
great note-taking device, and a semi-public one at that. In fact the
history of writing on the body is long indeed. (some argue that
writing itself began with ritual practices of a violent "graphism"
excercised during rites of passage and similar ceremonies...)
But seriously tho, I like to draft thoughts within blogger some times
-- I find that using blogger even to take notes puts me in a narrative
mind set.

I keep notes in a small gridded Moleskin notebook. But more important
is simply having something to write with. Always. In a pinch I'll
jot down observations on the back of my hand between the thumb and
index finger. I never knew you could write there until I saw the
movie Memento, but it's a really nice affordance.
The only "formal" process I have for non-project related research
is collecting local papers when I travel. Helps to see the world
though a different set of eyes.
