I am envisioning an over the shoulder then wrapped around the hips harness that will hold the laptop on a rigid belt around ita's waist. there will be slides and the ability to lock it into place, so the laptop can be carried closed on the side or open at an ergonomically optimal height in front.

msbelle is fancy -- I was just envisioning a rolly bag.

Has anyone used Mindjet? For desktop or a handheld device?

I loved using it, and was sad when the IT department took my license away due to cost-cutting.

I voted! In a local primary with two competitive races. I did get to vote for someone I went to high school with, so that's something.

Yeah, ita, make sure you check with management and with the docs. Even of it's part of the job description, they may be more than willing to go with workarounds--especially since it's only for a short period.

Oh, US Open, what the hell. WHY are Adam Sandler and Kevin James playing doubles with John McEnroe and Jim Courier? Have you no shame?

Boy, that's a lot of empty seats in the stadium. It's embarrassing.

For Typo and other thinky Buffistas: The Atlantic's Molly Ball and James Fallows both have pieces up studying Clinton's speech last night and all the factors, personally like him or not, that make him so incredibly effective as a public speaker.

They're already accommodating my disabled ass. And during that conversation there was enough "if you still meet the requirements of your job description..." that I don't want to mess it. I mean, they're not going to pony up for another computer, and that's the only plausible workaround. They'll tell me, like they did before, to take short term disability.

You remember that I have a battery in my ass?

Wow--I just told my boss some bad news, and when we were done he said "And what's the bad news?" My manager and I were all..."Uh, I guess there's none then?"

One of the villa people for my sister's birthday didn't order the shirt through cafepress, because she was broke. She had something made up locally. Now, I ain't mad at her for being broke. I'm not really mad at her for avoiding a scenario where people paid for her shirt (although I would have, and at least half of us would have contributed), but I am irritated that she clearly isn't using a high-res version of my design (fancy as it is...). I don't want her in a "close enough" shirt.

Dana, why does Kevin James do anything? And isn't it sad if only Adam Sandler will be his friend?

Also, surely Courier has something better he could be doing? Maybe his navel needs de-linting? At least he could check.

Every time I see him, I think the something better he could be doing is wiping off the body paint and riding off on his dragon to save Pandora.

Uh oh. I complained to Dreamhost that my provocateuse sites have been broken since they moved it to a new server, and they find it "hard to believe". It's been a while since I reviewed site longs--anyone know of a good one for the Mac?

I'm kinda nervous, because:

In looking deeper into this issue, it looks like today alone the total number of hits for your sites in your account is over 1.2 Million hits

I haven't checked my Google Adsense payout recently, but I am pretty sure that is not coming through legitimately. I might have to make sure I'm blocking hotlinking properly.
