Lots to do!

I'm trying to get ready for my trip to Minnesota and it seems like I always forget the small details. Like buying blank cds to make music mixes when I don't have a portable cd player anymore. Perhaps it's time for an ipod? Yeah.... Also had to go buy all new toiletries, since the TSA won't allow containers larger than 3 oz.

And on that note... Tell me, why is it that I can't carry a lighter but I can have up to 3 books of non strike-anywhere matches? Why is a pocket knife considered a weapon when a screwdriver is perfectly fine (provided it's under 7 inches in length)? Totally insane.

At any rate, next up on the list is a decent haircut. And once I get laundry and the dishes done life will be just peachy.


Also- I finally finished updating my site. Matt Kailey was kind enough to allow me to post his keynote speech from the Transcending Boundaries conference, so you should go take a peek. It's a fantastic piece.


Ok, off to get organized so I'm not flailing around at 5 in the morning looking for socks/wallet/itinerary/whatever.



P.S. I most likely will not have internet access while in MN, but I can access Yahoo IM from my cell if you need to reach me.

Eeek! Ipod is evil! Seriously. It's DRM hell. My personal recommendation would be an MP3 player from Creative. We both have the Zen Vision-M it kicks the shit out of ANYTHING ipod could ever offer. Plus no DRM or limitations upon where you can download your music from. Creative has a wide variety of players to suit pretty much any needs.

We both tried to do the DRM thing with music through Rhapsody. Which is a "legal" company you pay in order to download music from for your mp3 player. It was nothing but a nightmare from start to finish. I got so frustrated with it locking up my player/losing ALL of the music I had downloaded on to it, in turn making me re-download EVERYTHING/claiming that machines werent authorized to use the software when in fact they were and we had emails to prove it/tech support was a horrific nightmare/etc. Even Chris, the uber geek/techie had troubles with it! Never again. Anywho, that's my two cents...

I hope you have a safe trip! :)
