Radio, Instant Outlining, and Remoteness

Just thought I'd put out a few rambling thoughts about Radio. 

The instant outliner stuff that is in beta for Radio is cool.  I've started using it myself, but just am not sure how to make it fit in with work.  I think it is doable, it is just figuring out the best way.

I'm also running into some stumbling blocks while thinking about work blogging.  With Radio, you are really tied down to one machine.  There are good and bad points for this.  The good is that it gives you a lot more options for things you can do on your machine.  The bad is that you can only do things from your machine.  I have a job where I am always here and there.  Sometimes I'll be offsite at our data center, sometimes in front of my desk, sometimes hiding off in a little room away from everyone to get things done.

One thing I'd really want is something that is a remote version of radio.  Yes, I can currently attach to the copy of radio on my laptop from my PC via a web browser.  But from that there is a lot of stuff I can't do.  Moving Radio to my work desktop doesn't help either, because I use my laptop for more day to day work.

Are there other people in similar situations?  How are they dealing with it? I'm toying with the idea just putting VNC on my TiBook and doing things via that. My other solution is that I will be running a separate copy of Radio for work, since I don't really like mixing work and personal stuff, even when they overlap.
