An exhibition of geek laziness

It just occurred to me that the previous post was a true exhibition of geek laziness.

I'm reading the Stross book on my PalmOS PDA using a program called iSilo. I decided to blog about the book and I didn't want to retype the block of text I quoted. So I clipped it to the PDA clipboard and attached that as a note to a calendar entry. When I synced the PDA that entry got posted to my calendar on MS Exchange at work. From there I opened the calendar using Evolution on Linux (just because that's what I run here at home) and cut'n'pasted the text into the Blogger web UI.

Only a geek would go thru all that to avoid a little typing. :)
