My Hack Bag

The estimated reading time for this post is 72 seconds

Inspired by Pete Savage’s post, here’s the content of my usual “hack bag” (and I do carry it everywhere):

• Swiss Army Knife
• iRiver H320 (it can do everything: play music, radio, video, minesweeper, record sound, double as a portable HD. I’m sure that if I ask it nicely, it’ll also make coffee)
• Sure headphones
• USB cable, with nine (9) adapters
• Gparted Live CD (actually a mini-cd)
• 1GB USB pen (with some PortableApps)
• Moleskine notebook
• Pens (the writing kind)
• 80GB portable HD (it’s a very recent addition, I’m still considering if it’s worth it’s weight)
• Sony Ericsson P990i (it does everything a mobile should do and more, like… tea!) (No, not really…)
• Lomo LC-A and flash (but I seldom use it…)
• Lens cleaning cloth
• Chewing gum
• Toilet seat covers (funny story this one: I “stole” it from a soviet era hotel room in Łódz, Poland, which says a lot about the hotel if the room itself had them. Yeah, you never know when you might need it.)
• Alcohol based hand washer liquid (you know, those Rituals things)
• Chapstick
• Matches and a lighter

I’ll put up a photo… eventually…

(Update) And here’s the photo:

If you click on it, you’ll be taken to it’s Flickr page, where you can see the description of each object. Yes, I know that there are things I mentioned on the list missing from the photo.
