"I packed my bag and in it I put..."


For those of you not understanding the title.. its quite simple. It refers to an old game we used to play. Here

This sums up how I felt as I packed my rucksack full of Techie Gadgetry. I thought it would put a bit of a smile on your face to see what a dedicated Gadget Nut has to endure before heading off on a family trip.

1 x Gadget Laptop Backpack made by the people who do the Swiss army knives - CHECK
1 x Acer A150a Netbook - CHECK
1 x 16GB SD Card loaded with TV shows for said Netbook - CHECK
1 x 7200mAh LARGE Battery for said Netbook - CHECK
1 x Power Supply for said Netbook - CHECK
1 x LG Portable DVD Player (with USB Divx playback) - CHECK
1 x Headphones for said LG portable DVD Player (with USB Divx playback) - CHECK
1 x 16GB Memory stick loaded with Childrens TV for LG Portable DVD Player (with USB Divx playback)- CHECK
2 x DVD's ( Monsters Inc and Disney's Robin Hood) in case USB Key fails - CHECK
1 x Power Supply for said LG portable DVD Player (with USB Divx playback)- CHECK
1 x Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd Digital Camera - CHECK
1 x 4GB Sd Card for said Camera - CHECK
1 x USB Cable for said Camera - CHECK
1 x Kodak POGO Colour USB/Bluetooth Printer for said Camera - CHECK
60 x Photo Papers for said Printer - CHECK
1 x Power Supply for said Printer - CHECK
1 x Apple IPhone 3G ( The "J" phone ) - CHECK
1 x Set of Skullcandy Earphones to listen to IPhone - CHECK
1 x IPhone USB Cable to charge said "J" phone - CHECK
1 x Extra Battery 1900mAh to charge said "J" phone in case USB Cable is not available - CHECK
1 x Subscription to Spotify to sync a shiteload of Music to said "J" phone - CHECK
1 x Spare USB charger to charge all the USB chargeable stuff in case Netbook charging doesnt work - CHECK
1 x LG Viewty USB Charge Cable - CHECK

TO GET:
1 x Adapter to convert UK to US plugs ( and yes everything is dual voltage) -
1 x Magazine in case ALL OF THE ABOVE IS STOLEN OR DOESNT WORK -

So. As you can see, alot of planning and effort goes into a dedicated Gadgeteers trip plans. Whilst I have tried to provide failover scenarios to esure uptime of said Gadgetry, I am not perfect. To that end a Magazine is a must. Just in case :P
