Time for a new brain

Posted on 6. January 2007 by torbengb

All the way back in 1997, I bought a Psion Series 5, and ever since, it has been my plastic brain, taking care of my calendar, tasks, contacts, travel diaries, notes on the road, thoughts to write, daily alarm clock, and a lot more. I have called it Psion Series 5my plastic brain because to me, that’s really what it is. Without it, I’d be pretty lost.

So I’m looking for a new job. This would make good fodder for a blog post as it has all the yummy ingredients: current events, personal story, change, opportunities, thoughts and perhaps a tinge of philosophy. Now all I need is a writing style and, um, some creative inspiration.
