Rationing digital media

I thought I had it all figured it out. We're off to Greece shortly and my plan for dealing with digital images was to bring my iPod and get this nifty device from Belkin.


But no one in Boston seems to have one! I went to the Apple Store, Best Buy and some place called Isis... or Iris?

So I'll be rationing our picture/video taking -- I've got to make sure to not max out in case "The Greek Nessie" or "The Greek Bigfoot" appears on our last day!

I love my new pen

My wife and I bought my father a Cross pen for his 70th birthday a couple of weeks ago. I decided to buy a pen for myself: the Ion.


I love it.

It's tiny, fits on my keychain and has a great grip. It also looks like some sort of transport ship from a Star Wars prequel.
