A little photo slide show I put together using Aperture 3 and pictures from Hannover, Germany.

Recently I have been focusing on becoming more mobile for a number of reasons, the number one reason being greater productivity on the road. Thanks to a friend I discovered David Allen’s ubiquitous productivity book Getting Things Done. That discovery propelled my productivity when working off a BlackBerry into the stratosphere, but I remain feeling a bit thrown off when on the road because I have to adapt to the working conditions of a hotel or trade show floor. Just last weekend I added a compact travel mouse to my arsenal this one, supplementing the great Monster Outlets To Go product I received at It Won’t Stay in Vegas.

The next item I am looking to add to my computer bag is this promising TRENDNET travel router. Hopefully it makes it out sooner rather than later, the press release is linked because I could not find the device on TRENDnet’s home page. TRENDnet PR - if you are listening, when will this be available, from where, and how much? And how about a review unit?

Update: As commenter Coop astutely points out, this is merely a D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router repackaged. I will probably pick one of these up before my next trip. Thanks Coop!

I wanted to get out with my camera for a little while this weekend, so the S.O. and I ran up to Mt. Rainier on Saturday. The weather was amazing - actually it scares the crap out of me to be truthful, we need snow and we need it bad. And not just for recreation; I think we may be in for a serious drought unless things change in a big way and soon.

Anyway, here are the pictures. It felt so good to pick-up my camera for a fun little outing. If anyone happens upon this post and knows of any cool events or meet-ups coming up in the Portland area please let me know, I’m going to start looking for every excuse to shoot.

Complete set is here. LINK

This is the view from the notorious “A gates” of Alaska/Horizon at PDX. This is my least favorite area of the Portland airport; too many gates, bad AC, crowded, few power outlets.

With the weather this nasty I can be satisfied in knowing that whether here at the airport or at home I would be surfing the net and passing time.

Next stop Vancouver, BC then on to Osaka.
