Shigeki (the condom-measuring guy) tagged me with a meme!
One of his recent posts was a list of what he happened to have in his backpack that day, and so many people thought it was amusing he turned it into a meme and tagged me.
So here’s my bag:
(Click the image to enlarge it.)
BAG – My bag is a cool, soft, large bag with a wide shoulder strap and Ganesh on it.
DEBIT RECEIPTS – I’ve resorted to clipping them together so I don’t lose any before I get them entered into my PPC.
CHECKBOOK – Filled with all my plastic and ID. And checks, obviously.
IPOD USB CABLE – I tend to download MP3s at work because the Internet connection is so much faster there.
IPOD COZY – I knitted this. Isn’t it cute?
IPOD – ‘Nuff said.
SMOKES – Additive-free American Spirit cigarettes and a Bic lighter.
POCKET PC – This little device contains in its 6 ounces almost my entire brain: my Contacts, Schedule, checkbook register, video games, password & code database, and between 3 and 15 full-length ebooks. My bag would be massive without this baby, because I’d be carrying an address book, Day Planner, and a stack of treeware instead. (I simply cannot live without something to read about my person. I read ebooks in restaurants, in lobbies, in pubs.)
EYEDROPS – I wear hard (gas permeable) contact lenses.
THUMB DRIVE – This is a 256MB external USB hard drive. I do keep graphics files and crap on it, but mostly I use it to move files from one non-networked machine to another. I love it because it’s small. Small technology turns me on.
CELL PHONE – This not only is small, but it makes calls and surfs the web, and it takes pictures too. Which makes me love it so, so much.
WALLET – This is basically my change purse. Right now it contains $6 in bills, some coins, and a few tokens for free drinks at The Dew Drop or Ned’s Place. There are also about six wrapped toothpicks in it right now, but I never use them and they’re getting on my nerves so I’ll probably throw them away soon.
SUNGLASSES – You know, to cut the glare.
I don’t really carry anything very interesting, do I. But I have more processing power than MULTIVAC what with the iPod, PPC, cell phone, and thumbdrive. Heh! (Not that the thumb drive has a processor.)
I’m tagging Cootera, 80, Amped, Jon, and Logan. So: What’s in your bag (or purse/murse, laptop case, or wallet)?

I love your Ganesh imprinted bag most of all, and the iPod Cozy! Love the way you photographed it on the natural wood – totally suits you! What a combination of nature vs. technology!
Hey you! I’m really proud of the iPod cozy, thanks!
The bag with Lord Ganesha I bought in Telluride last year and have been carrying it ever since.
Hmmm…trying to think about what’s in the purse. Nothing cool at all I’m sure…
Hey, if you’re doing the meme and your blog does trackback pings, use this URL/URI, k?
Hi Mush,
Thank you! I looooove your bag. I mean seriously. I notice you have two compact flash cards. 🙂 Does that lighter look like “Bic”? I can’t use that lighter as my thumb’s skin will be gone. I mean it hurts when I light it. Does it hurt you?
Cool post! Happy Sunday!
Damn, Mush… now I’m going to have to get over my luddite ways and figure out how to post pictures on my blog… I’ve done it before, though. I can do it again.
You’re giving HAL a run for its money with that. Cray supercomputing, move over.
Sin, you’re alive! (I thought after your last blog post that perhaps you’d gone back into the kitchen and expired horribly.)
