Clipboard Express WordPress Plugin
I at one point got tired of seeing that I had 4 drafts saved in my blog that were holding nothing but a list of links that I needed to have access to while not on my main computer.
I wished I had a clipboard in Wordpress where I could store links and information I needed access to without cluttering up my WordPress drafts. So I made it. The plugin is called Clipboard Express and is accessible form the subnav in both the Write and Manage sections of the WordPress admin.
Individuality - Each user gets their own clipboard to use, and no user can see the other's clipboard. At first this project started out with just one shared clipboard but I figured this would be a nice feature to start out with, a nice multi-user approach.
It's been a real help for me. I keep some notes about formatting in there, so I can be consistent with how I handle thumbnails, screen shots and page links. Give 'er a try and post a comment here to let me know what you'd like to see or any bugs you find!

Documentation
Clipboard Express is added as a subnav under 'Manage' and 'Write' so that it is one click away if you are managing or wiring a new entry or page.
Each user has their own clipboard which is not accessible by any other user.
Installation
Upon installation and activation the Clipboard Express will start with blank clipboards for every user.

Uninstall
When you uninstall or deactivate the plugin through Wordpres's Plugin Management interface it will delete all user's clipboards. I will determine in the future if this is a necessary action but that's how it was built so be aware. Naw, it will save your shiz forever!
Plans
I plan to add additional features to this plugin as time goes on. AKA when I find the time or when I find the need.
- Add a clipboard module (or a mini-version) to the entry and page add and edit pages
- Maybe made the clipboard render and do an ajax (probably just JavaScript) click to edit (almost Flickr style) so links added can be click able and more easily accessible from the clipboard
- Would have to process links and
target="_blank"and not lose spacing and not render spacing tags<p>or<br />
- Would have to process links and
