Deoderant and keys

Nov 05 2009 Published by aaron under Photos, Travel, iPhone

This morning, I remembered to put deoderant on before leaving the bathroom. Much different than retuning back to the bathroom to put deoderant on while I have my tshirt half way on my body. This action made me feel great because it was different. Perhaps that difference is also the reason why I forgot my keys at home. That is a difference where there was no option for going back to fetch them, because I am on the bus heading to work and need to be early into the office doors. I must express that as I write this entry, I am listing to one of my favorite songs by Apollo 440, Vanishing Point, from the album, Electrict Glide in Blue. Interesting enough, I took another panoram that seems to have a nice vanishing point.

Iphone photograpghy

Nov 03 2009 Published by aaron under Travel

Last night I watched a video about using the iPhone to take photos and process them with tools to get different effects. Here is my first attempt at using a panorama and some styling to make a picture of the goldengate ferry look a bit different. Over all, I had lots of fun doing this and will be posting more photos!

While traveling, I can see this going with me to help carry my stuff

Sep 17 2009 Published by aaron under Organization, Tech, Travel

Organized bags and packs always gravitate my attention to see if the item will stand up to my needs while traveling. Over the years I have noticed that my style of traveling, two things need to change:

  1. the suitcase and backpack
  2. my computer

I have stubbled across some potential candidates for my travel gear change:

  1. Osprey Pack Meridian 28"/75L Wheeled Travel Pack
  2. Netbook PC to go inside the backpack

Waiting for some newer technology for the Netbooks is holding me back from buying one today. Once NVidia puts their mobile chip out to replace those silly Intel video chips, I think I will be ready to buy one. Since I have large hands, here are my choices:

  1. Acer InspireOne
  2. Asus Eee PC 1005HA

So far, I like the 11 in. Acer for its full size keyboard.

Portable apps list I like

Sep 14 2009 Published by aaron under Tech, Travel

  1. FireFox
  2. KeePass
  3. VLC
  4. TrueCrypt
  5. ThunderBird

Im sure there are more, and I will find the ones that complete my set of tools I feel are missing from the box, but for now, I think this list is okay. Installing them onto my DropBox and a USB drive would make for a very good contingency for my finances and documents that I would need in case of a disaster.
