I have replaced every light bulb in my house with the new energy efficient lightbulbs. I have also bought a rain barrel to use for our plants.

I have used this headset for about a year. Has worked well with my Tilt and now Fuze. Voice command works flawlessly, even in airports. I might get one of these as a spare.

Just happened last week. Got a last minute call to bail out an account team by facilitating a workshop in Chicago. we use various tools for workshops, Mindmaps, scoring templates, etc. and I religiously back up to thumb drives when I create, usually during the meetings, and definitely after the meetings. Two days worth of brainstorming is not the kind of data you should lose. Since this was a last minute thing I did not get a chance to do my usual prep work, and I forgot my backup drive, and my thumb drive. I have never had a problem with losing any files, because I am so careful about backing up and copying needed files to the thumbdrive. Because of my track record, and the harried nature of this particular session, I didn't even think about backing up to a thumbdrive during the meeting. At the very end, when we needed to show the results to the client, the scori9ng template had some problems and one of the techies in the crowd thought he could fix it. We took a short break in the meeting and tried to fix it, didn't really work but I managed to dance around it and client was happy. I never touched my tablet after the techie was finished doing whatever he was doing, and I had to run to the airport. The next day I start up my tablet, no file, its not there! Search again and again, older files but not a file with the last two hours worth of data. I am about getting sick when I finally found it, in a temp folder. Minutes of worrying because I didn't follow my regimen of backing up. Thanks for letting me vent.

Post #2 - my favorite gadget right now is my Fujitsu 4220, on lean from Fujitsu. First tablet I have had. The combination of Windows 2007 with OneNote 2007 and the tablet pen based technology has been a great boon to me in my work. I have gone completely paperless, and ON is my notebook for eveything from notes, to files, to memos, to internet pages. I use it for my real work (consulting), my play work (photography), and my spare time stuff.

I would love to win either of these gadgets, or the gift cerst as well. I love new techie toys, and try to turn them around and try something new when I can, or when money permits.
