— converters of train-commute minutes (otherwise lost) : 2 peak-efficiency converters, and some minor converters

1. laptop
   1. coding drill
   2. git blogg
2. hardcopy
   1. printed blog, webpage or work content
   2. printed publications
3. reading company emails on blackberry … (responding is harder) Can be efficient when clearing a long unread list.

— printer: Worthwhile if used once a month.

Sugg: buy and hold. Don’t set up until needed.

emc? Yes I will make room for it.

— laptop:

#1) 80% of the benefit and 90% of the pain relief  is — commute time wasted. On some days I have so much to do and so little time. With a tiny laptop, 1-2 days each month I hope to do some coding practice sitting on train. Ideally catch early trains.

Budget — $400 to reduce the pain. However, if I don’t use it much it would feel bad to spend so much.

Requirements — light; Battery is LG2

Secondary benefits:

2. flight
3. bring to workout — Stadium / exercise park / gym … I could also bring my regular laptop, but watch out for theft and handle-with-care.
4. bring to laundromat
