"Weapons of Choice"

[berniej]

What Apple products do you constantly bring with you when you go out to work/play? What other gadgets & gizmos do you bring with you?

Here's mine:
an Apple iBook
an iPod
a Tungsten|T
a SonyEricsson T68i with a blue flashlight thingie that can be attached at its bottom
a Billionton BlueTooth Dongle
a Brando SynCharger for the T|T
a small multi-tool (free from a pack of Lucky Strike) for emergency quick-fixes
a Scotch Brite High Performance Cloth for cleaning the 'Book's screen
the tube from the PodSleevz filled with 5 peso/10 peso coins

All of which is stuffed inside an inCase Slingpack together with chargers for the 'Book and phone and the firewire cable for the iPod.

This is an interesting thread, it reminds me of the Golf Digest monthly feature that picks out a player from the PGA Tour and goes thru each and every club, ball, and accessory in his golf bag.

I use a
Nike Epic 2 backpack. In the bag right now, at this very moment are the following:

An Apple 12" PowerBook in a Marware sleevecase (well, I'm using the PowerBook, so technically it's not in the bag RIGHT NOW)
A RoadTools coolpad (black)
A bunch of fountain pens and Sharpies for labelling CDs to give to clients
A Leatherman Micra multipurpose tool (that usually gets left behind on int'l flights)
A travel toothbrush
A Vicks inhaler
A small silver Mag-Lite in need of new batteries
A CD sleeve containing a few blank CD-Rs and DVD-Rs and a copy of Warcraft III
A 30GB Cutie external FW hard disk containing, among others, over 8GB of car videos, Top Gear episodes, and F1 races
A Palm Tungsten T, last HotSynced Wednesday, April 14 2004
A Waterfield Designs "geekay kit" pouch containing:

- retractable Firewire cord
- retractable Ethernet cable
- retractable Palm Hotsync cable
- Sandisk Firewire CF card reader
- the various clamps and brackets that come with the Apple iSight camera
- a SonyEricsson travel charger for my T610
- an iPod Firewire cable

A bunch of receipts from the last time I had my car serviced
A Globe Telecom cellphone bill
A borrowed DVD of
Battle Royale that I barely watched and which I need to return
An issue of Keyboard Magazine (April 2004)
An Xbox memory card containing savegames for Tiger Woods 2003, NFS: Underground and Project Gotham Racing 2 so I can play both on the office Xbox and at home without losing my place
A half-consumed pack of Trident cinammon chewing gum
A SonyEricsson Bluetooth remote controlled toy car that Cyn gave me for Christmas

:blush: That's a lotta stuff.
