Taking meeting notes with a laptop
I was in a mildly annoying meeting last week. When I’m talking in a meeting and someone is using a laptop, I can’t help but wonder if they’re listening to me and taking notes, or if they’re not paying attention and instead browsing Craigslist or playing Tetris. It can be difficult. And after this meeting, it hit me -- if I’m wondering about them, its likely that they are wondering the same thing about me when I’m using my laptop. This is a simply a perception issue, so I’m going to try and make my note-taking a bit more transparent. I’ve decided to take notes with pen and paper and avoid using my laptop during meetings whenever possible. I think it will improve communication. And it should be easy since I completed Tetris a few years ago.

And, for the record: While in Hawaii I finished the normal mode of “Tetris Worlds” for Gameboy Advance, which is a licensed Tetris× and not some knockoff. After 15(?) levels it simply said I had won. I didn’t know you could finish Tetris, but I did.

Jeez.. I wish I had time to “finish” a game… Last time I did that, I think I had a Sega Dreamcast, fer gawd-sakes….
