Thank you, I just "check, check, check'd" my way through the list for my Saturday departure. Almost forgot to back up the laptop. And #12 is so darn sweet...do you give your doggies extra snuggles before you go? I would add: 21. Tripit is another awesome way to see who will be around you. Similar to LinkedIn, but also shows who is traveling close by and can be integrated with Facebook. I have been able to make several extra f2f connections this way. 22. Explore security options for laptop and other mobile devices. If stolen, the iPhone memory can be wiped via Mobile Me. I also picked up a couple of new ideas from my recent AAA magazine. IronKey is an encrypted flash drive that can hold secure documents or data for travel information or pictures of passports, etc. The data self-destructs after so many incorrect password entries (kinda space agey, ooo). I'm also considering Banana VPN in case I need to do any secure banking or other activity requiring sensitive data transfer. This will protect me from hackers - yuck! As always, good stuff Jeff! Looking forward to our conference paths crossing eventually. Midori You’re so awesome!
