I don’t travel light.
I like to be prepared.
Not just clothes wise, but in terms of time-saving and productivity-enhancing technology.
On a recent four day trip, I brought the following with me
- my Windows 7 Netbook
- an iPad
- a Zune
- my Sprint EVO smartphone
- the LiveScribe smartpen
- a Flipcam
And, because I did, I was able to make the most of a number of unexpected opportunities (that’s the idea behind being prepared, right?)
The laptop? Obvious. iPad—also, obvious, I would expect. The Zune…I synchronize it with my Media Center at home and thus have a DVR-like experience when necessary.
Phone, also obvious, but I did use it to capture an impromptu chat in a parking lot, the FlipCam allowed me to capture a video of my client who is willing to do my laundry, and listen to a lecture by a leading marketing thinker and capture it with my LiveScribe pen as a Pencast.
Like a carpenter carries a toolbox, so do I. Need to have many tools to get the job done.
