I can’t believe I am JUST getting to commenting on this. As you know, I own many bags, but what goes in them are pretty much uniform: my Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet stuffed with George Castanza-esque pile of receipts, keys, phone, etc. all packed in, my bright pink day book, the CrackBerry, my glasses case, and Aquaphor.

For more fun look at other people’s bags an what’s in them, check out the Flickr group “What’s In Your Bag (http://www.flickr.com/groups/52241283780@N01/pool/)” and InStyle’s In Your Blog (http://inyourbag.instyle.com/).

My travel needs simple …
I ALWAYS carry along protein bars (Met-Rx Big 100) as snacks and as my breakfast food. I leave the snazzy briefcase at home in favor of an all-purpose Swiss Army Backpack. At least three biz books are with me (currently with me include: THE MYTHS OF INNOVATION and THE OPEN BRAND). Music is a must–for my most recent trip I loaded up my iPod with the newest Blind Boys from Alabama CD. And, the Priority Pass which gets me into lots of those airline clubs, a must-have for international travel.

You’ve traveled with me so much you could probably answer that question yourself…

Patagonia bags:
Well, everything gets packed into my MLC (Maximum Legal Carry-on) and my Vertical Mass Shoulder Bag. These two beauties have more miles on them than my 1964 Ford Falcon did in high school and have never ripped, thrown a zipper or let me down as I’m dashing to catch that next flight. I’m still amazed how much I can stuff into the MLC every time I pack.

Reading material:
I always have a GOOD Magazine, a Fast Company and a book with me – all three which I got a long time ago and just haven’t got around to reading.

Apples:
The Gen 3 40GB ipod is still rockin’, so it always has a special spot in my bag along with the Shure E3s. If the battery dies sooner than expected, the iPhone is a nice back-up. And then if it’s a long flight, I’ll download a movie or two from iTunes and watch it on the MacBook Pro, which I also have so I can do work on as a last resort.

Misc:
I’ve started carrying my Olympus FE-280 8.0 Megapixel camera with me, too. It’s so tiny that it hardly takes up any space and I can pull it out in an instant. And then there’s the video camera – whichever one isn’t being used by someone else in the office. As you well know, VeeDub, I carry it for no other reason than to capture those random moments for others to take a look inside this place we call Brains on Fire.

That’s pretty much it, unless you can think of something and call me out on it…
