Done yesterday (20100316 Tu)

( raw notes )

A good day. Productive at work, which always feels good. And a little shopping at Guitar Showcase -- found a very small folding guitar stand that fits Plink, and an octave pedal at a very reasonable price.

No walk, though, and my pedometer has gone missing. Grumph.

Some good links under the cut. The most interesting is probably this NY Times article on digital archiving. There are also some interesting points in Mobile gadgets: Three's a crowd, which says that most people will only need two mobile gadgets: one in the pocket (phone) and one in the bag (laptop). The author lumps netbooks and tablets in with laptops, which I think makes sense. But he also puts eBook readers in with laptops, which I think is probably wrong. A phone is too small for reading on, and a laptop with a usable screen and keyboard is too big and bulky. So,... three gadgets.

Wishful Wednesday

So today is Wishful Wednesday, when I post a link to my Caregiver's Wishlist. Colleen is starting to step her search for an Old Lady's Companion, which has been near the top of the list almost since the beginning.

River: social procrastination?

I don't have nearly as much anxiety as I once thought I did. I avoid things like phone calls and going to the fitness center at work much more out of procrastination or unfamiarity than out of anxiety. (When it's something unfamiliar, like a new kind of business call, there's often a lot of anxiety just before doing it, but once it's familiar it's just like anything else that I avoid for no particular reason.)

I don't seem to qualify for social anxiety. Starting a conversation with a stranger doesn't make me panic, or even scare me a little. I just don't do it in many cases, for one excuse or another. I wonder if there's such a thing as "social procrastination"?
