Gadgets I can’t live without…

It’s been awhile since I talked about gadgets. I have been super busy getting acclimated to Microsoft and Washington and it has left my blog posts a little geared towards topics I am encountering at work.

If you thought I had forgotten or lost some interest in gadgets, you would be sadly mistaken. To kick the topic back off, I thought I would give you my top 5 list of gadgets I can’t live without and why. Hopefully it will spark some interesting commentary and I can find out what you are using every day that keeps you living in the tech world.

1. My Macbook Pro: I really pained with wether I should put my cell phone here first. I definitely use the phone more, but the truth of it is, if I left my cell phone at home I would be ok, if I didn’t have my laptop for a whole day I would be lost.
2. My HTC Mogul Phone: A close second, without it I would miss meetings for sure. Add the ability to get my email right away and check my bank balance when I need to, it’s a super handy gadget.
3. Thumb Drive: The portable key makes the world go round. I am constantly having to shuttle files around that are just a little too big to email around or send to sky drive. The thumb drive is a must have.
4. Canon Digital SLR: When you are picky about photos, there is no replacement for a good digital SLR camera. I love taking photos and I want them to look just right. The digital SLR does the trick.
5. iPod: When I am driving around, I like to Jam. My super short attention span for music has me burning the click wheel like a DJ on vinyl. Having 160GB of music at my fingertips makes traveling super fun.

What about you? What gadgets do you use daily?
