You actually create it seem therefore easy along with your presentation but I notice this topic to be really something which I suppose I’d never understand. It looks too complicated and terribly broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I can strive to induce the suspend of it!

Hi Jim – yup, I know the rule, but I really just want to be understood.

VERY good call on Evernote. I suppose I didn’t mention it because it’s not one of my new apps. I’ve been using it for about a year now, and it’s great! I use it for saving flight itineraries, pages from the internet, emails, and all kinds of notes. I haven’t got into using the voice notes yet, although I can imagine situation when that might be useful.

And what I really like about it is that, like Things, I can use it from inside almost any other app, so I don’t have to leave the screen I’m on to save something to my notebooks.

As a wandering nomad I don’t have a printer, but because I can sync so much from my laptop to my iPhone I don’t miss printouts at all!

Hope to see you in Oz!

Internet rule #1 “Don’t Feed The Trolls.” Good come back though. As I started down the comments had intention of adding another great app. as a suggestion. But I should also add compliments for the photo’s. I teach a digital photography course to “oldies” U3A (http://tinyurl.com/ybueyyk) here in hot & sunny Lake Macquarie (http://tinyurl.com/ybueyyk) so I know what a pleasure it is to actually be in a place that’s worth photographing. Software… an app that I really get a lot of use out of is “EVERNOTE” (http://evernote.com) it’s “Your external brain.” Cross platform and web based as well as a great free iPhone app. The whole service is free* (*basic – 40mb/mth; premium 500mb/mth – $45/year) and it’s designed to help save the environment By providing a reliable place to store all sorts of snippets of info there is not a need to print out nearly as much stuff.. less printing = energy & resources saved. Its’s also possible to have shared notebooks that you can make public or just available to friends. I use it all the time , and no I don’t work for them. Cheers, look forward to maybe seeing you in Australia, Jim Bell

Jerry – I know.

99.9% of Americans I have met are lovely, kind, hospitable people. Some of them even get their facts right. I have never at any time been in marketing. For the information of Mary, I took portraits of babies and pictures of weddings for 3 years, from 2000 to 2003, between being a management consultant and going on my first expedition (to Peru). Full resume available on request. Portfolio in my mother’s garage.

(I won’t make my bank accounts public, but take it from me, if I’d had the money to cover the cost of BB2B I could have saved myself a lot of trouble and hard work in gathering sponsors and sending out the rewards.)

Sinead – actually Chesham, a mere 11,695.41km away, or 7267.2 miles. It’s going to be a long walk home…

WOW Mary, just wow. If you took some time to check the sponsor tab, you will see Roz is well supported by many companies and people. I follow her site for the sailing adventures. I’m ashamed that a fellow American could be so rude to say what you said to her. Where do you get off questioning her integrity? She doesn’t fly around in a private plane, she uses scheduled flights that would spew carbon even if she wasn’t on board. Roz, not all Americans are as rude as Mary.

Mmmm… a “pro photographer for a few years”? How can that be? You never once mentioned you were a professional photographer in any of your biographies, and how could you have been a professional photographer if you were in marketing before becoming an “Eco-Adventurer”? Seems you’re still continuing to market now – only yourself. I know many of your fans haven’t caught on, but plenty of others have…. By the way, how can you promote yourself as helping save the world, while you jet around the earth to suit your personal whims? And if you have the money to fly all around the world at will, why did you ask others to donate money to you so you could ‘walk’ to Brussels??? Some piece of work.

Roz, that’s okay … I’d like to see what Joan can do. In the mean time I will just imagine. Just now listened to your interview with David Durant http://j.mp/RozBrooklandsDec22 and included the link in a comment on the Daily Mail article. Really love Jenn Grinell’s Can’t Stay Here.

I’m not sure exactly where you are, but you may be near one of my favorite vacation places in the whole world: The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Kohala Coast. When I lived on Oahu years ago, I’d fly over to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel for wonderful weekends. At the time, the MKB was owned by Rockresorts, the parent company formed by Laurance Rockefeller, which also owned “the hotel I most want to visit in the whole world, but have never yet stayed at” which is Caneel Bay on St. John. The MKB had unbelievably beautiful art, gorgeous gardens, unsurpassable food, and stunning beaches. It closed for a while following an earthquake, but I understand that it reopened a year ago. You’re right … you’re in a perfect place for a healthful detox program! Most of all, after your blizzard experience in Europe, you deserve it! Welcome back to beautiful Hawaii!

Curious to know what Nearest Tube suggests for Hawaii, Heathrow?

Roz, send me one of the raw files of a hazy shot. Let me see if I can surprise you. Joan

Doug – I’ve tried taking some pics of the distant ocean, but it is so hazy here that they really don’t come out well. Unfortunately a grand vista does not always make a grand photo! It loses a lot in translation…

Roz, sounds like -- and looks like -- you are detoxing and "hibernating" in heaven. Thanks for the diversion. Wonderful close-ups. Please take some wide angle and distant shots out at the ocean as Amy describes. Would love to see the grand vistas you are enjoying. Joan, you are a great friend to loan Roz such a great camera. Love the recent additions to your top page, especially the smoky movie and the juicy peach, but the dancing leaf will always be a favorite! I will be following your eco-adventure right along with Roz's: great goals, gallery and support pages. Suggestion: a link to your top page embedded in your name would be cool. Amy, your description of the stormy ocean at night took my imagination where it wanted to be ... thanks!

I too, have been looking for new equipment. I just returned from Ziuahtenjo,MX and my camera was not holding a charge at all. I managed to pick off 80 pictures before she died.Kodakz740, old, but it does have capabilities.I posted some pictures on my Facebook page. Only the best ,of course. I was thinking of you Roz as I looked out over the grand vista of blue ocean. A storm rolled in one day , waves , wind, and my only thought was what a brave soul you are. At night I was looking out, and the darkness of being alone in the middle of the ocean,well,nothing shy of being totally in the elements was more than I could bring myself to ever consider. I live vicariously through your endeavors. Thank you for keeping me inspired. All the best today. AmyinAustin.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it, Roz. I really love using the E-P1. It’s up for Best Camera of 2009 here: http://www.photographyreview.com/qikVote_2555crx.aspx . It won my own magazine’s Hot One award for digital SLR in its price range. (Those awards come out in the Feb. issue of Professional Photographer magazine, ppmag.com). It is a truly fun, quality camera, and I love the styling, which is based on the Olympus Pen of the late ’50s and early ’60s. Can’t wait to see if you get some nice video with it, too.
