My "Go Bag"

Following +Trey Boden's share of his "Go Bag," or what gear he carries around with him, I'll share my own gear that I have with me in my DT manpurse, with an eye on FUSE14 and ISTE2014. These are the things I find useful while traveling and/or conferencing:

My Go Bag
• Rickshaw Zero Messenger Bag (medium, custom) — Really love these bags. The medium size forces me to compromise on what I really need to have with me.
• Rickshaw Deluxe Drop Pocket — Pockets can be swapped out of all bags.
• Rickshaw Classic Folio — Great for carrying pens, cards, small notebooks, etc.
• 13in MacBook Pro
• MotoX
• Sennheiser CX215 earphones — Great sound for the price.
• Anker 5600mAh portable battery — Absolutely indispensable. Can get 3 charges from it.
• Extra large Moleskine soft cover journal (squared, gray) — For detailed sketchnotes.
• Pocket Moleskine hard cover notebook (squared, red) — My "commonplace book" for random notes and ideas.
• Field Notes notebook (dot-grid, pitch black) — For notes from FUSE and ISTE.
• Small Post-It notes
• Lexar 32gb flash drive
• Business cards and a Y&G business card holder
• uni-ball 0.7mm roller pens (assorted)
• MUJI 0.5mm gel ink pens (black) — Trying these out on a recommendation, but I'm more of a 0.7mm kind of guy.
• Sharpie retractable markers (assorted) — An addiction.
• USB dual-port adaptor and 6' micro USB cable
• HDMI and VGA dongles
• Microfiber cloth — Handy for cleaning screens, glasses, etc.
• Reading (Clay Shirky's Cognitive Surplus and David Mitchell's Black Swan Green)

Add a pack of Starbucks Via, and I'm good to go. What's in your go bag?
