Last year...


This is was my whiteboard in 2008 for March to-do. I was going through some old folders (yes I'm at work on Sunday) and stumbled across all these old to-do lists.

As an interesting overview as to how my brain works, I can still describe each of these items in detail, why they were on my to-do list, the overall importance of them, and their resolution (same for the tasks assigned to my reports on the board).

On the other hand, I cannot remember anything about them from a time perspective - when I started working on them, when I finished them, how much time they took, etc. In fact a fair portion of that does not seem like it was something I worked on a year ago - it seems older or newer.

Apparently time does not function properly in my brain.

Gear Review: Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks

In the past couple months on the road I think I’ve spent more time riding my scooter through rain than I have in the dry – this is clearly reflected in the fact that as time has gone by I’ve invested more and more money in things to keep my stuff dry, since wet gear sucks. One of my favorite purchases for this trip is the pair of Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sacks I picked up just before leaving, in 13L and 20L sizes. They cost me around $20 each and are one of the best pieces of gear I’ve purchased in years – extremely durable, effective, and simple to use.
