Road Warrior Tools

Well, I am getting ready to head out on a 10 day, Multi-City trip for work and for fun. 3 days in Newark, NJ. Then three days in Richmond, VA. Finally, five days back in Atlanta. I figured I would share what I normally take on the road with me, this is the latest version.

1. Archos 404 PMP(Personal Media Player) - It carries all my shows ripped off the Tivo that I want to watch while I am away and don't want to use the slingbox(works well on the plane)

2. Casio Exilam camera, full metal body and pretty tiny as well. Just picked it up so not too much miles on it yet.

3. 1st generation iPod 4gb Nano - It has been with me the second longest. It has far outlived any of my other MP3 players by miles. I have had it survive a Texas rainstorm in the from pocket of my motorcycle jacket so it has a thunbs up from me.

4. Nintendo DS Lite - For when you want to waste some time on something other than watching TV you can whip this badboy out and play a few games of what you have on tap. Mario Bros usually stays in the DS slot. They also have a browser out fo it now as well but it does not do flash so no YouTube

5. TMobile Dash - My personal phone which has all the usual smartphone goodies on it such as Wi-Fi, EDGE (No 3G though), and all the power of a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone. The one really kewl thing is watching the home TiVo over EDGE or Wi-Fi on the thing. If they came out with a BB verison, I might just get rid of the Dash though, it eats waaay too much battery.

6. Crappy Verizon LG work phone - Nuff Said!

7. iBlue GPS hockey puck - Can pair up with the Windows Mobile phone and using either Google Maps or Windows Live can give me GPS location and directions if I want them.

8. All the various cable and charging devices I have to carry. The only two that need something really special are the Verizon phone and the DS. The rest have at least USB cables and they can be charged either off the laptop or the little white apple brick which has a slot for USB. It pretty much works with everything I have had so far.

9. Crappy Work Laptop - Nuff Said!
