Blog in a bag

img00392-20090425-1339 I’m rapidly spiraling into becoming a tech-gear head…and really enjoying the ride.  Over the last month I’ve put some energy into this little brown Overland Equipment computer bag in preparation for next nine days of travel.  I thought I’d share with you how I’m now situated to take my workstation on the road.

  • The Acer Aspire One 10″ Net Book.  It’s light, fast, holds a tone of data and the battery can provide over seven hours of constant use.
  • The Blackberry Bold.  The upgrade from the curve did not disappoint.  The 3G network advantage and overall processing speed leaves the curve in the dust.  Battery life drains faster, so I upgraded the battery.  Most important feature is the tethering plan that allows me to get access to the web for the net book wherever the phone is operating.
  • The Flip video camera- So easy to use and the quality falls right into expectation for the blogosphere.
  • M-Audio Microtrack II- great for capturing high quality recordings, including live music or lectures.
  • A Targus auto/airline battery charger and a variety of other power options, including a Solio Solar charger.

The weight of the bag is coming in around five pounds, lighter than my laptop for sure.

    I love getting a peek into gear bags! I've had my eye on netbooks the past few days... wishing Apple would come out with one (Macbook Air just isn't it)! Having recently done some audio recordings, I think that's an excellent addition to the toolkit.

    Also, have to say again that the site looks fantastic! I see you're using IntenseDebate... I looked into that a while back, so you'll have to let me know how it works for you...
  • So far so good with IntenseDebate. The set up went smoothly and it seems to be working for everyone. As for the netbook, there's also the fact that they are so inexpensive, if something happens to it it's not the end of the world.
