Yes, its long, but well worth the time. Nobody (and I mean NOBODY!) writes like the Storage Anarchist. His recent travelogue/storage blog should get an award of some sort. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, chinotto, Chianti or whatever and have a read.
Most of us have some fear that our work lives will come crashing into our personal lives - giving our loved ones cause to express their frustration with our work-tech OCDs. In a reverse twist, he imports elements of the Joie de Vivre from his recent European cruise into the storage blogosphere and mashes it up with recent stuff from the EMC PR and blog cauldron.
Yo Anarchist, you could have another career writing Rough Guides or Jetlag Guides!
Barcelona is wonderful. Much agreement here. Any Tapas?
About the benchmark comments in your post - how do you want to proceed on the benchmark front? The stuff from a year ago is - well a year old by now and it hasn't been updated by anybody since then (last time I checked). It looks like a dead thread to me. Is this something you can help organize? (OMG - it was just updated today - there might be a there, there?)
-BB - a photo I took at Parc Guell:
And for Zilla-man and Storagebod, a very cheesy video about Molvania (see the jetlag link above)
Marc - glad you enjoyed the mash-up!
And yes, it seems that we've gotten Dr. Kartik back on the trail of the elusive real-world benchmark. I knew if we all hounded him, he'd be embarrassed into action.
So, this time, let's don't let up...this is a REAL initiative, and I have indeed committed to put all the resources behind it that I can muster. Let's make it happen!

Hi Barry, my concern with the benchmark is herding cats.
