Guilty as charged. I am...

Guilty as charged. I am...

Guilty as charged. I am a fucking portable Radio Shack, art studio, gym bag, books… My i500 Palm phone, mini Moleskin + index cards and Shuffle ought to help, but this Sherpa routine is a painful fact of my life as an East Coast digital hobo. Everything that can be minimized is (my bike helmet gets locked to my bike, the bike light is the lightest one I could find…). Extra batteries, wires, adapters, books… I am hoping for a Mr. Miracle like uniform by next century. Hopeless in Manhattan
