Taking the stress out of packing...

[alexpgp]

Probably the hardest part of packing, for me, is making sure I don't forget some organic component of the tech side of my world. (There's few things less pleasant than showing up with your computer, but without the computer's power supply.)

So, I finally sat down and consolidated all of my lists - the engineer in me loves lists, dontchaknow - into a mind map, which gave me an opportunity to give the latest version of Tony Buzan's iMindMap a try.

The product is not comprehensive, but it'll do for the time being.


Instead of using work to fill in the evening, I made an effort to catch this evening's episode of The Mentalist, and was not disappointed. The one problem area that I see for the future of the franchise is analogous to the situation in The X Files, where after a while, the "unbeliever" in the ensemble has to start coming around, or the series ends up abusing the viewer's patience. Still, there would appear to yet be time for the skeptic to see the light, and enough other avenues to explore as well.

I plan to get up early to make up for today's deficit in work output. We may, or may not get on the road tomorrow; I've made my peace with that.

Cheers...
