#grid-it

Jean Christophe Diomard Arrazau (Check out his Flickr here and the original image here.): Going for a 2 weeks trip with the minimum gear, 2 weeks, 2000 kms by train and bus while working on projects. The bag is a Hazard 4 second front (the mesh inside is a design flaw, it got torn appart by european plugs, I am quite unhappy about that and H4's support on that, oh well .. ) with an Aussie RAF velcro patch and a Resident Evil's Umbrella Corp morale patch.

Clockwise starting from the top left:

Buff Tube Scarf "Caviar" Limited edition

an inflatable neck pillow

a Gopro hero 3 silver

some paracord bought in a french sports chain called "Decathlon"

a small USB powerpack (given to me by the guys from Kisti, at the Denver Supercomputing show in 2013)

an Opinel knife number 5. Simple, cheap reliable. I can eat with it, peel a fruit, cook or anything.

2 glue sticks, just in case something needs a quick and dirty fix.

a Laguiole piezzo lighter, mostly to use as a ghetto glue gun replacement.

a screwdriver/light combo

a Lenspen to clean a camera's lens

Sunglasses

an Apple Macbook pro 15" with its powerpack - my workhorse/office "home is where the unlimited wifi is reachable".

a silk sleeping bag liner from Decathlon (again?). It keeps me warm at night wherever I am staying.

a Victorinox Swisschamp with a traveling pouch (I had it for more than 10 years, it was my second one, It's always in my bag as a toolbox)

a Coles shopping bag (an Australian chain)

Apple remote (box closed by a sea sheppard wristband), Apple HDMI adapter, Apple 31 pin cable for an Apple nano 6th gen I have lying around, a Google Chromecast. Useful when I have to do a presentation and there is no cable long enough...

a Leuchtturm 1917 dotted notebook, you can note a japanese coin hanging from the lanyard, I am using it to draw a circle for my Chronodexes. I gave up on Moleskines, found these ones, won't come back.

Pens: Waterman hemisphere ink pen with pump, a Bic biro superfine, Bic Criterium.

an ikea sandwich bag with toiletries

a starbucks bottle with an ikea tea strainer

on the Grid-It square: stainless steel chopsticks, 2 USB power cords, a MontBlanc pen ( It seems that I am obsessed with writing...), an SDcard USB adapter, a DVR USB device (Where did I put the antenna?), a QI wireless charger for my Nexus 7, a Snicker's bar ( I was going for a 6.5 hours bus ride ), a Fisherman's friend tin box containing, spices, a bit of sugru, earphones, and closed by a wristband I bought for ANZAC day

Shielded wallet and Australian International driver's license

a Kindle 3G and a Nexus 7

a T&B mouse, It has an intense blue light. Apart from that... just a cheap mouse with a retractable wire.
