Tracking business mileage

Does anyone have tips on tracking automobile mileage for business deduction? I have of course thought of keeping a notepad in the car as a log, but I forget to write trips down and since I have my computer with me pretty much all the time, I sometimes end up doing business work when I didn't expect to and therefore didn't plan to write it down? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The first thing that sprung...

The first thing that sprung to mind was to photograph the odometer every time you get into the car. However, on reflection, that sounds a little bit mental. It would give you mileage linked to date and time, though.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
