Geek Bag Update

19 Aug 2007

Anytime I make a significant change to the contents of my Geek Bag, I like to do a post about it so you guys can see what I carry day to day. I am surely giving out too much information and showing just how big of a geek I actually am, but that’s the whole point of the intertubes right?

So this major update is because of the MacBook Pro I added. I have changed quite a bit since my last iteration so here is the latest in entirety.

So this will be a bit long winded, but here are the contents by type:

Computing

MacBook Pro (2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram)
Apple Remote, Power Supply, Ext Cable
Logitech Bluetooth Mouse
Verizon V740 EVDO Rev.A Wireless Express Card Modem
LaCie 50GB 2.5″ USB Powered External Hard Disk
Kingston 1GB USB Thumb Drive
Microsoft USB GPS and Extension Cable

Entertainment

Nintendo DS Portable Game Console, Case, Charger, 6 Games
iPod 5G 60GB in Belkin Hard Case
iPod Nano 2GB in Belkin Hard Case
iPod Lanyard Headphones
(2) iPod Headphones with Cable Managers
Sennheiser PX100 Collapsible Headphones
Belkin Arm Band Case
iPod Sync Cable
Nike+ Sport Kit for iPod

Communications

RIM Blackberry 8700 Cell/PDA (Work)

Photography

Canon Digital Rebel XT Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm kit lens
Canon 50mm f1.8 lens
Canon 75-300mm USM lens
Canon shutter release cable
Canon Charger and spare battery
256MB, (2) 1GB & 2GB CF Cards with USB Reader
Monfrotto Tripod Adapter
Sony DSC-W50 6MP Camera

I know that’s a lot of gear, but it’s really not that heavy and leaves me armed for whatever it is that I need to do. I am big on not doing my personal business on work hardware, so I try to keep myself self sufficient should I find myself needing to take care of one of my personal geek issues during the workday.

Do you have a cool geek bag? Send me an email at jason (at) philoking.com and I will spotlight your hardware fetish.
