i've used a number of recorders, but was blown away when i picked up an old sony clie peg-ux50 from ebay a few years ago on a whim. it wasn't so great with most of its functions (and the non-upgradeable palm OS), but i found the audio recorder application to be exceptional. was really amazed at the quality - even 30 feet + from the source - and the ease of moving the files around. the recording time is basically unlimited with a 1 gig flash memory stick. i had to install a new battery to get wire-free, but now i use it all the time... interviews, lectures, impromptu discussions with colleagues, etc.

this is how real change happens - with action. this makes me look at myself: would i be too quick to judge, too offended to think it through, too busy to take the time?

gotta remember this one.
