My netbook is absolutely great when I don’t have to use it.

Um. Ow?

See that knot? The one that looks like I had been stung by a bee? That is from spending the last two months working full-time (meaning 10+ hours) on a cramped, tiny, crappy, little keyboard. I have no idea what it is but it sits right on two tendons and while it doesn’t hurt per se it makes typing, guitar playing, chopping vegetables, shuffling cards, and raking the yard really uncomfortable. It rolls around like a marble causing the tendons to “pop” when they stretch.

So the pro’s of this netbook are:

  • Killer battery life (~6 hours)
  • Light (maybe 2.5lbs)
  • Fast wakeup and shutdown (SSD helps a lot)

The con’s:

  • IT WILL TRASH YOUR WRIST

At the moment, the con is completely outweighing the pro’s. Really looking forward to my laptop arriving.

What’s in your bag when you’ve got to get it done?

What's in your bag?

I picked up that awesome robot bag for my Dell Mini 10v earlier this month and the exhibitionist in me couldn’t resist showing off all the stuff I carry when traveling light but still need to get it done. The voyeur in me wants to know what you lug around to get it done. What’s in your bag?
