I'm taking a cue from Gizmodo
and a suggesting from Russell and introducing a GadgetBag segment.
That's on the more. Weekend was pretty laid back. Friday night movie
at home, TV, living on the couch, Saturday doing some ironing on the
couch watching TV and movies, and headed out with plans for the drive in
but failed and stayed in town, BBQ at the Russells', sweets at Sweet Mandy
B's, then I, Robot at Webster Place. I liked the movie, summer blockbuster,
and it takes place in futuristic Chicago. Sunday more TV and movies and
ironing. I think I've managed to get rsyncx up and running, which is a good
thing. I am running out of Hard Drive space, if that's believable. Too much
music.
Gadget Bag
So what's in my gadget bag?
So what's in my gadget bag?
- Apple Powerbook 12" 1.0 Ghz. I maxed out the RAM and HD, with an Airport Extreme card. Otherwise, nothing too fancy about it. Used a little bit on the El, in the diner at breakfast, or at Leah's house. Set up as a web development, java development environment. Named Aluminum, which is unoriginal but fits into the element naming scheme I use. Also an AC adapter. And a firewire cable (short one).
- iPod 5GB, one of the originals. I did get it replaced a year into the warranty for a bad firewire port, but no problems since then.
- Sony Ericsson t68i (with T-Mobile). Had it for almost 2 years, looking to upgrade eventually, maybe the p910, but the t68i is still working. Love the bluetooth. I've got a data plan, so if need be, I can go online with the powerbook.
- LED Head lamp. This is new, got it for Poultry Days this year, but comes in handy.
- Swiss Army knife. It's the cyber tool or something, it's translucent red, and comes with hex and torx drivers. Also comes in handy.
