I'm looking for some kind of notes/reminders for my PC, and I don't want to use the default Win 7 sticky notes.

I'd like something that has cloud, so I can sync it online, it allows you to put reminders there so it pops up regularly or just somehow alerts you to the note, and I'd love something that would be either a background app or something that's in the browser, so it's kind of there but not there there like sticky notes which just cover your screen all the time when you click on them.

It could even be a webpage with some kind of desktop alert system.

Google Keep https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-keep-notes-and-lis/hmjkmjkepdijhoojdojkdfohbdgmmhki

I sync between my two desktops and my phone. Plus I can share items with my wife. When she makes changes, I see them, etc.

Maybe only for Chrome.

I have actual physical sticky notes all over my computer. XD Sad but true.

Everything you have is sticky.

Yeah, it is.

That's the trouble with being Cthulhu.

That sounds like the catchphrase from a canceled '80s sitcom. =D

Who could it be?
Cuddly, friendly
My tentacled pal
Sticky and true?
It's Chthulhu!
That's who

This Sunday and every Sunday, relax with everybody's favorite out-of-this-world roommate, Chthulhu! Only on ABC - Chthulhu and Me! - Starring Charlie Sheen as Chthulhu and Demetri Martin as Chad, the roommate.

XD
And that... ...sounds about right.

I still use plain text files..

And sometimes I scribble temporary notes on old newspapers..

I have a parrot on my desktop that reminds me things.
Too bad he don't speaks italian.

I was going to try that but given the way I act all the parrot would end up doing is insistently cursing and making fart noises.

Google Keep works pretty well.

I use notepad
keep it simple

OneNote
