I definitely go with wpd. More often than not when you try and do pages you feel more pressure to have it all flow perfect. With the wpd quota you can write a chapter, parts of a chapter, parts of several chapters...etc. It all comes down to the quantity.
After the month you can always work on editing and affecting the quality.
I have participated in Nanowrimo for the past three years. There are a lot of people who think about writing something but never set any structured goals in order to get it done. You can take it as serious as you like or loaf all month. It won't make you a great writer but you might find out that you can produce a lot more than you thought. 50,000 words is a hard goal for many and reaching it can be quite rewarding.
There are municipal liaisons that cover areas throughout the country and organize writing groups. I am one in eastern Ohio and what I do is try to keep track of the people in my local area, provide a little encouragement and pass out a couple freebies that the Nanowrimo staff sends out each year. All in all it can be an interesting experience if you are into writing.

Portable Storage?

My friend bought one of those watches before and had quite a few problems with it. I am not sure if it was from ThinkGeek or not but the usb cable kept popping out at odd times.
"Is your watch happy to see me or somthing?"
"Oh crap, stupid watch."
I have seen many instances where pawn shops and used game store like EB and GS all sell merchandise the same day. A local pawn shop owner claimed that games were harder to track down without names on them so the police here didn't even bother.
If the police hadn't done anything after being contacted that is ridiculous. I stopped buying games off of eBay because of bad product from sellers but at least eBay has some buyers insurance.
Yet another reason to dislike EB.

I wish I had the funds to do a case mod project like that. I am not lacking in the time department.
When it comes to the time issue I have gotten used to around 3-5 hours of sleep depending on my plans. This leaves much more time for projects or just random activity.
I am looking forward to the spice harvester by the way.
