Travel Hatinerary

November 13, 2007 at 11:58 pm · Filed under uncategorized

I’m heading to PA/OH to see the fabulous Morley and my Grandparents.

Step one: public transit — my least favorite part. The MUNI bus was late by 15min (hence the sour look on my face in the photo). I’m now
on BART on my way to OAK which is going ok so far.

I’m packed light. Only a simple backpack and no laptop. Burning Man has taught me how to pack with the minimum of gear, but it took a bit of digital prep work to not bring the laptop.

I had slideshows I wanted to bring, music, and videos. I kicked together a couple slideshows to show the grandfolks and put them both on my iphone and on a flash drive. Music housed several places: shuffle for simple tunes and long battery life, iPhone for all my current favs, and my old iPod 3G 40gig for hauling the rest and storage. I rearranged a bunch of my music on it, adding a bunch of new stuff I’ve gotten recently but have yet to fully listen to. Unfortunately, the battery in my 3G dies faster than an anorexic on a desert isle, but it’s good for when I can plug in. I powered it up last night, and I’m curious how long it’ll last.
I also converted my DVD of The Decent to iPhone format and loaded it on, so I have something to watch on the plane. Wish I had time to convert another movie — oh well.

K time to get off BART!

Sour MUNI face

MUNI was late by 15min as per norm. I got to the airport on time still but ended up being the second to last in line. The last guy in line was also playing with his iphone — i wonder what the correlation is between iphone users and tardiness.

I’m packed light which helped as I didn’t need to check any bags. No need for my laptop now that I have my iPhone. Converted a movie to iPhone format for the plane flight — wish i had time to put another movie on it though. Also organized a couple slideshows which are on both the iPhone and on a separate thumb drive for use on any computer. For music I have my iPhone with my recent favs, plus my 3G iPod with the bulk of my collection (though the battery is on it weaker than anorexic stranded on a desert isle), plus my shuffle for times when I want to save battery life on the former devices.

Mmmm gadgets. They make air travel bareable.
