A penguin with a tape recorder or speech recog. Right. That way, I
could rant about all this brokenness, and that would help me organize
my paper.

Hooray for mindmaps, at least. And hooray for iPods, or I’d go mad.

Must find Web 2.0 person or other geek whom I can call up late at
night to talk through these things.

Oy.
