Recording

Hey all,
B15M mentioned this in his post, but I thought it deserved its own topic. I'm am curious as to if and how eveyone out there records themselves while practicing. Do you record your whole session, or just individual snippets?
I have never recorded myself, except for audition tapes, etc. This is probably because I lug enough stuff around with me and don't want to add a minidisc player and microphone to this. Also, my practice schedule now is such that I practice in shorter durations whenever I get the chance, so taking 5 minutes to set up recording equipment almost seems like too much trouble if I'm only going to do a half hour
Recently, however, several people whose opinion I trust immensly have commented on things in my playing that I don't hear, and I think it might be benificial for me to hear it for myself. With summer vacation approaching (and hopefully more free time), I would like to start recording myself, but I want to have some kind of strategy before I introduce this new technique into my practicing, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jimi
