Myself

The innards of my bag

saddleback

This is what my inside of my office briefcase looks like today.

The bag contains:

  1. My Dell office laptop, sans charger. I have multiple chargers in the office and at home, so I don’t have to carry them around.
  2. My iPad.
  3. Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad.
  4. My Kindle.
  5. A Macbook Air, along with charger, because my boss insisted that I carry one for this presentation that I am working on, to ensure MS Office compatibility. (The laptop runs Ubuntu, and OpenOffice)
  6. A DVD of Under The Skin, the Scarlett Johanssen movie which pal William borrowed from the LA Public Library for me, after having recommended it for weeks.
  7. Two volumes of Saturn Apartments, a manga that I am reading at the moment, set in a future where Earth is a natural preserve and humanity lives on an artificial ring-world around the planet. The book follows the lives on window-washers who live on the lowest level of said ring-world apartments.

I am headed to lunch and I am wondering what I should read. Yes, really.

The Saddleback Thin Briefcase, by the way, is a heavy piece of work – 3 kgs/6 pounds by itself. Sure, the leather is luscious, and it’s starting to get a wonderful patina with age. It also comes with Saddleback Leather’s 100-year guarantee and all, but I could probably give someone a concussion by swinging it around when it’s empty. It gets a fair share of comments when I walk around, but it can get plenty painful on the shoulders especially when I have been walking around all day. On the positive side, that forces me to avoid carrying my laptop on trips, which works out really well in airport security.

So, what do you have in your bag?
