Well, I bet some of us missed the Lifehacker "Show Us Your Go Bag" gallery/submission/thing. The rules (however loose they are) can be found here.
In summary, this is the bag that, when you go out the door, you grab. It contains all of the stuff that you need on you to keep the party rockin' on the road. Or work. Whatever floats your boat. Take a picture of the bag with its contents laid out. Label it so we know what's what. And post it up here! Let's see if this thing catches on.
Admin/Mods: This is not a "post your workstation" or "post your screenshots" thread, so I think it's OK.
As for me...
- 15" MacBook Pro - For work, and for play. Nothing beats this sucker. Well, OK, a 17? one would. But I’m poor. This is my baby, though.
- Sunglasses in case - Prescription sunglasses (which actually look kinda cool).
- MEC shoulder sling bag - It holds a LOT of stuff, and it was cheap. And it fits my MacBook Pro. Therefore, I bought it.
- Panasonic earphones - Isolating earphones that are really good. I was surprised at the sound quality.
- Lanyard - Containing house key, bicycle lock key, and 1GB USB thumb drive.
- Tiny Maglite - I use it all the time, for finding stuff that people (IE: me) have dropped, or just generally seeing in the dark.
- Apple remote - I don’t usually carry this, lest it get lost, but if I’m giving a presentation, it’s invaluable.
- iPod - Black, 60 GB 5th generation iPod. In a DLO casual leather case. It’s nearly full. This is one of the things I just can’t go anywhere without.
- Wallet - It was cheap, and it does its job of carrying money, cards, etc. rather well. Currently, it contains a Safeway card (with measley employee discounts - 10% off on Safeway brand stuff), Airmiles card, library card, bank card, student ID, various business cards, and $10.
- Swiss card - It’s this thing. I bought it a number of years ago. The swivel thing for the scissor area doesn’t work, but the rest is functional. It’s super handy, and less conspicuous than carrying a knife.
- MacBook Pro wall plug - I usually carry the long one, because it’s better to have some slack cord than to not have enough.
- Juggling bean bags - For when I get bored.
- Dive watch - It’s a St. Moritz dive watch, on a cheap strap (nobody steals it, because the strap makes it look cheap). It’s a great watch, but I’m replacing it with a Valima soon.
- Breathsavers - Nearly out of these. Wintergreen flavour. I’m going for Altoids when I remember to buy them.
- Guitar picks - I don’t know why, but I carry these. You never know when someone will have a guitar that you can jam on.
- Camera USB cable - To transfer pictures with (obviously).
- iPod USB cable - Sometimes I need to plug my iPod into my computer, to transfer photos or charge it.
- Lowepro camera case - Usually contains a camera, however, the camera (a Canon PowerShot A530) was taking this picture.
- 256MB SD - A spare SD card, for squeezing an extra 200 pictures out, should I run short. My main SD card is a 1GB unit.
- 1/4 to 1/8 converter - A plug for converting a 1/4 male cable to a 1/8 mini stereo plug.
- Pencil case - It looks more menacing than it is. It’s a leather pencil case containing… pens and pencils.
- Sharpie and pen - Forgot to put these in my case.
