What Do You Carry With You?

The "ideal bag for a mobile life style" raises the question, what tools do you carry with you?

It varies by what tools are necessary for you to do whatever it is you do, of course, but I think it's an interesting question.

I have two bags -- one small purse and the bag that carries my laptop. My purse can go in the laptop bag, or if I don't take my laptop, go alone. I'm going to list what I always carry with me after I do an inventory.

Anybody else?

Great book wth great comments about the future of marketing, especially viral marketing, which is currently all the rage. Really, it's a glorified form of word-of-mouth. But Neuromancer is the book that got me hooked on William Gibson. I remember reading it summer 1998, just after my freshman year of college.

Sorry, I went OT there.

Yes, Gibson seemed to have his finger on the pulse in regard to viral marketing, some amazing insights. I read Pattern Recognition after a reference from a ARG i was playing. Always been meaning to read some Gibson. Next thing i know i read Neuromancer and have about 4 books by him :)

Yup, a UK monkey here. As for football, i don't follow any teams but i'm a Everton supported by default (as the missus supports them) :)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
