Fume hood is still down. Looks like I’ll have to empty out another hood and move the five-liter reactor to that, along with all its attendant glassware, oil bath, vacuum pump, vacuum trap, etc. This is so going to suck.

AvantGo is my hero. Essentially, it goes out and grabs web pages (plus links to a user-specified depth) and dumps it to my Visor whenever I HotSync at home. Boring meeting? Got time to kill? Pull out the ol’ Visor and there we go! Here’s what keeps me happy, in the order I usually read them:

– Daily headlines from The Advocate

– The latest from SciFi Wire

– Caustic essays on the state of television from TeeVee

– Wired News headlines

– Headlines and in-depth analysis from the Christian Science Monitor

– The latest from the New York Times

– Entertainment business news from Variety

– News and commentary from ZDNet

– Top news from Flayrah (though I wish comments were also included, hint hint 🙂

– Movie times and locations in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area from Movieminder

– Hard core geekiness from AnandTech

I see that LiveJournal has an update feature that utilizes AvantGo to update your journal – I might download that, I might not. If nothing else, it might be fun to play with on the plane flights to and from Chicago.
