I’m going to Australia today. I managed to pack everything I need into one laptop bag. Boom.

I don’t have an iPod, android or even a sim card phone, and my trusty G4 iBook is too old to travel (6 years and still going!) so I’m not sure if I’ll be very active on twitter or here over the next five days. It also means anyone wanting to call or text will be out of luck. 

I keep almost buying some piece of flashy technology, but then I keep thinking of the words of my friend Luke - “There’s an easy formula to whether you can afford to buy something. Look in your bank and see if you have enough to buy it outright. If you don’t, you can’t afford it.”
