If I were a superhero, I’d probably be Gadget Girl or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but Buffy’s already taken, so Gadget Girl it is. I love technology gadgets, but the sad fact is that I don’t have enough money to buy every cool new shiny toy that I want, so I have to pick and choose and invest my dollars carefully. So when we started planning the Get On The Bus trip, I started planning which gadgets I’d need to ensure I have a great trip, can work, can play and can keep myself sane while traveling with my coworkers and even some of you! Here’s my list so far:
Windows Mobile phone – Can be used for email, maps, directions, documents, taking pictures and even playing a couple of games.
Flip Camera – I’ll need this to interview people along the route.
Unnamed Music Device – It was a present from my husband and kids for Mother’s Day a couple of years ago. Yes, I want and need to upgrade to a Zune, but as I stated earlier, I’ve limited funds to invest in tech toys. (and I’m not just saying the Zune bit because I work for Microsoft – I want my FM radio!)
Electronic Sudoku puzzle – I’m kind of a puzzle freak.
Kindle – Confession: I have an almost pathological fear of running out of reading material on long flights – multiply this by the number of days I’ll be on the bus and I’m nearly paralyzed with anxiety! So, I woke up early Sunday morning with an epiphany – I need a Kindle. Never mind that I’ve wanted one for a while, this is the perfect excuse to purchase it and it saves the husband and kids from having to shop around for a Mother’s Day present. My Kindle hasn’t been delivered yet, but I think this might be the perfect therapy for my own particular psychosis.
What else? What would you bring with you on the bus if you were in my shoes?
