Gadgets: Inside GM Tristan’s Backpack

October 4, 2007 · Filed Under Gadgets, Gamer Babe, Musings

Okay… I love packing up for a trip. Unfortunately, I forgot my jacket when the entire Level Up management team went to Tagaytay for our corporate planning session. While they were enjoying the cool air, I was shivering like a wet dog.

Oh well, this post ain’t about jackets (and memory loss). I want to show you the essential gadgets and goodies that goes into my backpack when I go to a trip.

Ever wondered what actual gadgets or tools I use for work? and of course, to stay in touch online and to update this blog syempre! (and let’s NOT forget playing and gaming stuff)

Here’s the first photo:

More details about each gadget after the jump

GM TRISTAN’S GADGETS

Globe Huawei Visibility Wi-Fi – I use this cool nifty gadget to go online almost anywhere and anytime. It’s a USB apparatus which you plug into your laptop. There’s a sim card inside. With good signals, you can get speeds up to 3.6MBPS vis HDSPA. Sweet!
Toshiba Satellite M100 – with my new laptop, I can work fast and be more productive (justifying the cost a little ehehehe). It’s an Intel Centrino Duo with a separate ATI Radeon X1300 128MB video card so I can also play when I feel like it.
Targus Wireless Mouse – a gift from my mom, I love this mouse! Only a Razer can make me change it. It’s not too big and not too small. Plus the range is good.
Targus Infra bay – While a lot of friends think it’s a humungous USB drive, it’s actually the receiver for the wireless mouse.
Nokia 6680 – Yep. Old phone. But I have no complaints. It’s a Level Up issued phone and it does the job for me – calls, text, videos, Bluetooth, pics. Aprub!
My USB drive – this one is just 512MB. I’m actually giving away a bigger one for my blog contest. Soon I want to replace this with either a 2GB or 4GB drive. It’s great for those times when you need to have a presentation or file ready on the fly!
Microsoft Zune – you’ll probably ask why I don’t have an iPod. Well, my 30GB zune has a radio, Bluetooth and has a bigger and wider screen than any iPod (well, before the Touch hit the fan). I have a review of this in my old blog.
Sony PSP – Can’t live without it. Gaming on the bus, van or plane is simply one way to kick back and relax. But don’t tell anyone ok – I am envious of Gamer Babe Pam’s Nintendo DS. Once maka-ipon, I think I’ll get myself one too.

The camera, my old Olympus digital, ain’t in the pic - I’m using it obviously…

Here’s a close-up>>

That’s all for this post. Seeya again later.

Cheers,

GM T

oh xet HDSPA…
What’s the charge on that thing?
I’ve always wanted to get one installed for my notebook but the Globe branch where I live don’t seem to be aware of it’s existence.

A decade ago, you would’ve been a god if you had all that stuff… or the MiB would’ve had you in a tiny room held for questioning. Then you would’ve returned home with an empty backpack and no memory of what happened.

They’re out there… Watching…

Cool gadgets. How does the Globe Wi-fi thing work? You buy it and can connect to any Globe signal? Or you buy it and you pay for it monthly?

same inquiry with sylv3rblade… how much do they charge for that? unlimited monthly or per KB? And yes Globe SM sanlazaro doesnt know about that too.

^oh i forgot to ask google. it’s flat rate of 2k PHP.
GM T on October 5th, 2007 4:17 pm

There! it’s 2k per month. Try to google it “Globe Visibility” or “better than 3G”

Ah kk…
hmm… is it literally anywhere? Or does that go for GPRS only?
