Yup, believe it or not, I'm an Apple Guy. I quite literally recommend, sell, manage, support, and build software exclusively for line-of-business Android devices, but in my personal life, I use Apple. I wouldn't recommend running a warehouse with an iOS device, but I recommend running your life with one! Along with my iPhone, AirPods, and MacBook, I also have a universal phone stand clamp that comes in handy on airplanes and a wireless charging battery bank.
I always have several mobile devices in my bag for sales, development, and support activities. The TC8300 and wearable computers are prevalent in our e-commerce heavy distribution environments, so I typically need to keep at least one of each on me to support my job functions.
Besides the MacBook... I also have a physical book and an eBook on me at all times. I go back and forth on what medium I prefer. I'm usually reading some sort of self-improvement or tech industry book, but recently, I got caught up in these "romantasy" series that have been blowing up as of late.
I have whole-house audio through SONOS at home and almost always have something playing in the background. When I'm traveling, I bring the JBL speaker with me to try to maintain some of that experience in hotels and Airbnbs. It has the bonus use of acting as a backup battery bank since it can charge devices too.
While it's easier to have a nice video call setup at home, I'm on the road more than 50% of the time, so I needed something that could enhance the experience even while traveling. I found this little USB-C camera for that purpose, or rather, it found me (...Instagram ads...).
This tiny little power strip packs a mean punch. It comes in super handy while traveling as you can turn the one shared plug in between two plane seats into two wall plugs plus multiple USB-A and USB-C ports. It can be helpful in the terminal as well or even in your hotel room when you may only have access to one good plug nearby.
This is probably the hardest-to-replace item in the whole photo. Where I go, the water bottle goes. I have accumulated a black and white sticker motif over the years through my travels, and so the bottle is really a physical representation of years of travel and exploration. I've hidden an AirTag in the bottom in case I ever misplace it.
