Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Keychain?
kuhnto writes: I was playing with my key chain and started to wonder: what does everyone on Slashdot have on their key chains? What cool things do you have that you want to share? I'll start: car key, car alarm dongle, house key, Kingston USB Drive, AAA micro flashlight, and a Swiss-tech Utili-key.
To extend this a bit: what other things do you usually carry around with you, aside from the common items like phones, keyrings, and card/cash holders?
Actually, I have 4 keychains on my keychain... one keychain has house keys, one has work keys, one has car keys, and the last one just has usb drives. They are all latched together via a carabiner, so I can easily remove any of them.
