+Hey everybody, John Culp and Lafayette Louisiana here with a contribution to the What's
+In My Bag series.
+Got the contents of my bag laid out on my desk at work here.
+By the way, my bag is a backpack.
+It's a fairly large backpack and it fits a good bit of stuff.
+First thing to go in is my laptop, of course, that's the thing that goes in and out the
+most.
+A lot of this stuff just stays in there and doesn't come out very often.
+One of those things is a patch cable, an ethernet patch cable.
+It's, I don't know how long it is, it's probably about 10 or 12 feet long and I don't
+need it all the time but it's awfully nice to have one when I do need it.
+I've also got a little bitty patch cable just over a foot long and I don't remember why
+this one's in there.
+It's one that I made myself.
+I can tell from the way it looks but I don't remember why I put it in my bag so anyway.
+It's there.
+It doesn't take much space so I'll probably just keep it there.
+I've got a couple of adapters.
+These are micro SD adapters.
+I probably just need to keep one but for some reason I have two of them in there.
+Also not a big deal since they don't take much space at all.
+So the adapter, here's another adapter too.
+This one is for an old phone card that I used to have.
+The phone that required this was a Sony 580 or something.
+It was not a smartphone.
+It was what they called a Walkman phone I think.
+It was a pretty cool little phone for playing music and whatnot.
+But it had a proprietary formatted micro card to store files on and you needed a special
+reader for it.
+So this is a USB micro card reader thingy for that phone.
+I should probably get rid of it because I don't really need it in the bag anymore.
+Now the coolest piece of tech that I carry around in the bag might be my Zoom H1 recorder
+which is what I'm using right now to record this episode.
+And I've started carrying it with me all the time in the bag just because it's so small
+that it fits in there and I don't really notice the weight either.
+So I keep my recorder in there.
+I use it to record lectures.
+I use it to record podcasts and who knows what else meetings.
+If I'm going across campus to a meeting somewhere I will bring that thing out and record
+the meeting and then whoever has to take care of doing the minutes for the meeting always
+appreciates having a recording that they can refer to later.
+So the Zoom is great.
+I keep that in there along with all of these stuff from the accessory pack to the Zoom which
+includes this windscreen which I don't use that much because I don't do much outside
+recording.
+It also includes a mic stand adapter which looks like the end of a standard microphone
+that goes into a regular mic clip and I use that here on my desk.
+I've got a regular desktop mic stand for my Shure SM58 mic that I use for other recording
+tasks here at the office.
+And this little mic adapter just screws into the back of the Zoom.
+So I keep that in the bag.
+So keep the Zoom's carrying case and the little fold up tripod that the Zoom can sit on.
+And also one fresh AA battery which is the size battery that goes into the Zoom.
+You only need one to power the Zoom so it's great in that respect also.
+I keep a spare battery.
+Let's see.
+Well, this is not really tech stuff but it protects my tech stuff.
+I always keep two or three small ziplock bags in my backpack just in case I have to ride
+my bike home in the rain or something.
+I want to make sure that my electronics stay in those zipped up tight to keep the moisture
+out.
+I keep one tool in the bag and it is a Stanley screwdriver.
+Now this is really cool.
+I'm going to try to find a picture of one of these to show on the show notes.
+This one has four possibilities to it.
+It's not quite a precision screwdriver set in one piece but it's pretty close.
+It's got a large-ish Phillips head on one end and then if you take that bit out and flip
+it around and shove it back in the thing, it looks kind of like an ink pin.
+You could take this and put it in your shirt pocket and it's got that little clippy thing
+like pins sometimes have to hold it on your shirt pocket.
+You take the cap off and it exposes the screwdriver bit and you can turn it around to get either
+Phillips or flat head.
+And then if you go to the other end of the pin-like device and pull the cap off, you get a much
+smaller Phillips head and then a flat head on the other end of the bit.
+And I use this screwdriver all the time for removing parts of my laptop with the hard drives
+and taking little screws out.
+It's incredibly useful.
+So I always keep one in my bag and incidentally I got one of these for every one of my family
+at Christmas a couple of years ago.
+It stuck them in their stockings and they really liked them.
+They're only about two and a half bucks a piece and they're incredibly useful.
+I have at least two of them myself and maybe three.
+Keep one in my bag at all times and then I keep one just kind of near at hand at home
+as well.
+I've got a piece of sandpaper and I don't really know why this was in there.
+It's very coarse sandpaper so that makes me wonder why I put it in there.
+There must have been a reason but it's been in there probably for a long time and I'll
+probably just leave it because it doesn't take up much space and who knows when you
+might need a piece of sandpaper.
+I also have an assortment of pins and pencils, which I imagine almost everyone has in
+their bag.
+I've got a fingernail kit which I used to use constantly when I was playing guitar a
+lot.
+Since I've had my carpal tunnel problems I don't play the guitar much anymore but I
+still keep this nail care kit in my bag.
+It's got little scissors and nail file, clippers and a bunch of pieces of 600 grit sandpaper
+that I used to really smooth out my nails to make them sound good on the classical guitar.
+Many a few things left here and one of them is a hankerchief which I don't know if I've
+ever used but for some reason it's been in my bag for a really long time probably going
+back to previous bags because I think I just transferred everything from my last bag
+to the new one a few months ago.
+Now there are medical things.
+I've got a small container with ibuprofen tablets which I use with some frequency if my
+wrists are flaring up or if I've got a headache or if a colleague needs some anti-inflammatories
+I will give them some of those.
+I've got an albuterol inhaler for times when my allergies are really flaring up.
+Also during allergy season I tend to need cough drops and so I've got some cough drops
+on my bag and finally the last thing here is a container of dental floss.
+So I hope that's been entertaining, that's what's in my bag.
