I proudly present you…

Pocket:
[list]

[*]minidisc player: Sony MD-N1 (with remote and headphones)
[/list:u]
Bag:
[list]
[*]diary/appointment book - no, it’s not even electronic, it’s a filofax! Ok, it’s not even a filofax, it’s something much cheaper. But it has the standard format has a nice look and I simply like it.
[*]a book, a different one around every week. usually by terry pratchett, in german or english.
[*]my TR5MP, of course
[/list:u]
That’s all, folks.
There are some things missing in my list which are almost regulars on the average list. Why? Let’s have a look at some of the most favourite things:
(please remember that we are talking of everyday use, not of long journeys)
[list]
[*] condoms. No, I don’t have sex everyday. Sure, sometimes you can find condoms in my pockets or my bag (I’m a normal guy who sometimes even has sex, yes), but it just doesn’t count as a regular item.
[*] PDA. Aaah, I like those a lot. They are neat things! But I don’t use them as organizers. I have an iPAQ and use it for fun stuff. Messing around with technology - that’s what I like best! Thanks to the programmable IR diode I also use it as a remote. Or sometimes even to watch shows I recorded or something. But for my appointments, my notes, miscellaneous stuff? I like my paper filofax much better. Contacts? I have phone numbers in my mobile phone and anything beyond that… well, I scribble it into my filofax.
[*]pens. Useful, I agree. I have one in my filofax. I don’t need anymore, at least not regularly. At work and at home I have a lot more, of course.
[*]GPS. You know what’s funny? I actually work for a geocompany… but a GPS, in my bag or my pocket? It’s hard to get lost in Munich. And there’s still GPS in the cars, which isn’t even used very often.
[*]wallet. Okay, everyone should have that, that’s clear. I simply use my filofax as my wallet, but I would of course also use a wallet.
[*]digital camera. Hey, I like shooting photos a lot! And a Sony DSC T1 is really small, you can really almost always carry it. But I still don’t take photos every day, so it’s still just no use…
[*]USB stick or similar storage media. my workstation at home’s always on, I have DSL at home and fibreglass in the company, I have my TR5MP in my bag… what exactly should I put onto that storage media?
[*]chargers of any type. My items get charged at home and some at work. There are chargers there.
[*]condoms. I really don’t carry them around. Come on, guys, stop pretending and don’t be dorks.
