the Gear

as in any great heroic contest, the first step is always the ceremonial process of girding the young heroe's supple loins, affixing the battle-tested armor, and usually the introduction of some mythical or historically-relevant weapon.

In my case, that means purchasing, fanagling, borrowing and finding all the right tech-toys, Universal cables, and various power supplies.

the resulting "package" that I'm sporting is theoretically hyper-flexible, uber-capable, and also travel-savvy. Heavy on the theory.

one further downside is that I'm having some challenges in getting all the toys to play nice together. This is my first post from "One Laptop Per Child" XO laptop, and it's great, but for the moment I can't post photos or upload audio, both of which will be a big part of this blog over the course of the summer.

so as i work on all these technical issues, get ready to depart, and cheer the Spurs on to their (potential) game 7 victory over the Hornets, I'll leave the blogosphere alone for a short while longer. by next post i'll be out of country, or at least further progressed in my arming sequence.

Girding underway.
