Jeremiah,

Great post. Have you checked out the new HD Xactis? I got the HD700 a while ago when Amazon had a ridiculously low price on them, and it serves triple duties as a still camera, video camera and webcam. SD cards are getting so cheap these days. They are a lot easier to carry around than mini DV tapes, and I don’t have to mess with capturing from tape. Just a thought..

By the way I saw you present at the Web 2.0 conference, great stuff…

I always love the “whats in your bag” posts. It’s been years since I’ve done one.

Thanks for sharing, Jeremy.

I DO have an iPod, two for that matter. However they are usually in the cars.

Scott, I saw that before, thanks for the reminder!

Jeremiah, I guess you didn’t see my post earlier this month about my new Timbuk2 Hacker Bag http://laughingsquid.com/timbuk2-hacker-bag-the-ultimate-vertical-laptop-bag/

What?! No iPod? How do you drown out the sounds of crying babies in public places when you blog?

Yes, the extension cords are light weight, not too bad. I’ve gone to many many events, it’s important to bring power.

I’ve made many new friends that way, people will ask to plug into your power and I always let them. (there are 3 plugs on that one extension cord)

Weight? I guess 7-12 pounds or so (as most laptops are 5), it’s not heavy, esp if you have the right bag. I’m in good health so it’s not a strain.

Thomas,

It all depends on your goals, for me, it was to be a ready-to-publish multi media platform.

Excellent post. After seeing the photo, with notes on flickr I was interested to see what this post would look like.

I appreciate seeing what you carry. This gives me ideas of what I need to carry to be better prepared.

Currently I have an older leather Tumi bag. I like it, but there is no way I would be able to carry all the gear that you have in yours. It might be time to upgrade bags.

Do you really bring the Power extension cord? It’s my first time hearing about it! So how heavy is your battle gear? I guess more than 4kg?
