What's In Your Laptop Bag?
Mudzy writes "TheTechZone is running a cool human interest story showing what their chief editor has inside his laptop bag. Some of the stuff in there could really make a geek salivate - like a mobile VoIP adapter and the world's smallest wireless router."

Wow thats so awesome, I wonder what he keeps in his glove box? In fact I see the potential for a who series of articles in which we can examine every container he posseses individually. We could even examine the lap top bags of other employees, the possibilities are endless.

It's just another round of advertising PR thinly disguised as actual news.

BTW, the site is slashdotted on a Saturday afternoon of a holiday weekend. Hilarious.
...that's not my bag baby. Honestly.
So really, what you want is a purse.
After all, I am strangely colored.
I'm not sure about pen, but scissors beats paper.

Is that wrong?
I hate to break it to you, but a condom won't help you get the next generation. That's just not how it works...

You're suggesting that condoms are needed for procreation? You sir, have a lot to learn.
Since everyone is doing it, I'll list mine too:
.45 caliber automatic with 2 boxes of ammunition
1. IBM Thinkpad. Couple of years old. No power brick (I'm too lazy to unplug it)
2. Membership card for a long dead video club
3. Spare car keys. I lock myself out of my car every couple of weeks or so.
4. Bloody knife I forgot to dump the last hit.

I was in highschool a few years ago when I met on of the most respected men in my life. He came to the school in the form of a "nice" Bofh. Living in a small town I was the only person I knew at school that used linux, until that year when I met my two geek friends. The one I'm talking of in this story though had been a consultant, computer tech, special agent in the military for drug enforcement and a soldier. This is the type of guy that has many stories, and all so good you could sit and listen to him for hours even if you didn't know him. We hit it off and since then have kept in touch although he and the school parted ways, in a not so friendly way.
Either you have a crush on this guy, or he molested you. Which is it?
boooooring
