Here's a nice way of using the itouch/iphone to help you work on a series. Today, being my day off, I was playfully exploring 3rd. I'm still not familiar with the sequence of asana or with the weird vinyasa, I could use a book of course, but books are so last year.We don't always want to follow along with a video but every now and again it would be handy to have the video set up so you can remind yourself how your supposed to get into an asana or how to exit. Synch your video with your itouch and you can jump to the appropriate section without leaving your mat. Likewise with a bit of nifty editing you can add a photo album of a series and scroll through to the asana you want to check up on.
I took a photo of Matthew Sweeney's 3rd Series and downloaded it to iphoto. From there it was just a case of duplicating the photo 30 odd times and cropping each picture down to the individual asana. Turn it into an album and synch it with your itouch and away you go.

Lol! I love how you're dabbling in 3rd series... on your "day off"!! I've been a long-time reader of your blog, and I love seeing your progress. Just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are (and how there's no more excuses for me not to aim for getting to intermediate!!). :)
Hi S. Saw your picture on Twitter and knew I'd read your blog before but couldn't find it. You did that great manduka eQua review.
Thanks for the nice comment. Just dabbling at 3rd, still have so much work to do on Intermediate but I really like how when you look at the next series your whole perspective on the previous series changes. Some of the 'easier' asana that you didn't focus on that much suddenly become really important. All those hip openers in primary seem better prep for 3rd then most of 2nd. I've become obsessed with standing sequence and spend more and more time on it.
