I like to do these every so often if only to chronicle for myself. I am hoping that I can inspire my Twitter buddies to do the same so we can all see how horrifically geeky we all are.
I am sure the first think you will say is WHAT!? So this is my back pack that I carry every day, dumped out in our family room. I’ll give a brief description of the contents.
When you are ready to do yours, the rules are as follows:
- Only show the stuff you actually carry every day
- Include everything, keys, wallet, etc.
- Explain what and why
Jason’s Geek Bag – 3/10/2009
- Macbook Pro: of course I have to have a laptop. I actually am issued one for work, but I never carry it outside of work. It has it’s own bag at the office, sometimes I shuffle things around when traveling overnight, but most things I can do with VPN and Windows Vista in VMWare Fusion.
- Sennheiser Noise Canceling Headphones: I actually carry about 5 pairs of headphones, elsewhere in the picture is the premium Zune headphones that I really like and in my misc. cable case I have a few pairs of cheap buds in case I need to share. Notice there is a headphone splitter in the photo for that purpose also.
- Sony Playstation Portable: Sometimes you need downtime entertainment. The iPhone is great, but it doesn’t play games like Rainbow Six Vegas!
- Canon G9 Digital Camera: Also you will notice that I carry two cameras, the G9 is my mini-SLR replacement for when I need really good photos on the go. I also have the little Canon SD1100 IS in the front pocket of my bag for when I need to carry it around with me for a bit. Yes, the iPhone takes photos, but sucky ones. The SD1100 IS also has one of the Eye-Fi cards in it for wireless photo transfer.
- Garmin eTrex Legend HCx: I got lost in downtown Seattle once…once.
- Card Reader: Damn Macbook Pro doesn’t have a built in card reader, bleh.
- Tools: These go when I fly, but they have saved my ass several times.
- Sprint Cellular Modem: Sometimes you need data and there isn’t free WiFi, also Microsoft blocks FTP at work and I AM a blogger
- Thumb Drives: 2GB was a conference freebie, 16GB for when I need to carry some stuff. Also not pictured is the 160GB portable Hard Drive I left on my desk at work, yikes.
- Paper and Pens: Sometimes taking notes on a digital device isn’t practical. Of course keep several Microsoft pens for when you want to schmooze. Notice the mini-Sharpie, man I love Sharpies, I am an addict.
- Wallet, Keys and Badge: All obvious, along with the IM A PC (I get the irony since I am usually toting a Mac) boggin’ I keep in my bag pouch, bald heads get cold man.
- Zune: Ah, yes, my beloved Zune. 120GB of ever evolving music. Zune Pass is the shit. Also the Zune Premium Headphones.
- iPod Nano: along with the not pictured Nike+ unit, this is my gym and workout tunes.
- iPhone: This device completes me.
- Samsung Bluetooth Headset
- Flashlight: You never know man.
That’s all folks. What’s in YOUR bag?

Comparing your earlier bags it seems to have gotten less than before?
Aye, I have streamlined a bit
Getting old, bad back. hehe
Weakness…
