Last time I did not have the time to write a detailed description. This is nevertheless one of my favourite parts of the whole What's In My Bag process.
You will notice that I have continued the process of thinning out and making lighter the content of my bag. With time, my back (which I took care of, by streghtening my back muscles), but now as well my hands have signaled with joint pain that it's time for me to face reality and drastically cut the weight I lug on a daily basis. Which I did. To paraphrase Churchill - If you listen to you body's signals at 20, you're a coward, if you don't after the age of 40, you're daft.
So here it goes - the content of my mag in a very cold and very rainy spring. Numbers/descriptions go on an inward spiral from left to right.
1. Bag: TUMI - I think the model was the Alpha 2 Slim Deluxe Leather Portfolio
2. Umbrella: Doppler German-made carbon steel body umbrella. A very good quality umbrella with pleanty of small things to love it for - fabric quality, silent tip, silent and smooth opening, very strong and resistent to those pesky winds we've got here.
3. Bose QC25: Not the best sound - the Parrot 2 I had until now were twice as good, but the Bose is so much more reliable - the Parrot had terrible sound artifacts while the noise-cancelling was active, up until that time when the microphone got completely messed up and started distorting any sound while in noise cancelling mode. I have a rather long commute on which I imperatively need noise cancelling on - the QC25 are good and reliable. I can live with them having a little less depth of sound.
4. Woolen Casquette Lacoste: a woolen golf hat to match my woolen sports coat - I am trying to make sure that, at least my exterior, matches my age and girth.
5. iPhone 6 Plus in a brown leather Apple case. Amazing device - the first phone I own that I like that much since the passing of my beloved Palm Tréo680 and 650.
6. A new vice of mine. Gave up cigarettes over 8 years ago. Have been smoking pipe from time to time. Now I indulge in cuban cigars. Favourite brands are 'Cohiba' and 'Romeo y Julieta' - this here is the Churchill Shorts - very good, very flavourful.
7. Colibri cigar cutter and cigar lighter/torch: The cutter is reliable, lies very well in the hand and can fit even a cigar of the gauge of the one in this picture. The lighter has three flames. Isn't really wind resistant , but is beautiful, has a good size tank and matches the cutter.
8. Mont Blanc Meisterstück Classic Platinum: Let me ask you this - if you love cars, what will you do when you buy a Bugatti Veyron? How will you justify buing anything after it? That it's better? That it's more elegant? Right. Indeed. That's what happened to me after my wife gave me this one as a present - there is no way for the pen afficionado in me to justify writing with anything else, but this jewel. Smooth writing and reliable lines, without having to press to much. Unless you write in a Moleskine, which is terrible for fountain pens, everywhere else writing with this is the ultimate writing pleasure.
9 and 10. Rorting rapidPRO ballpoint pen and 2.0 mm lead holder: whatever non-fountain pen and pencil I get seduced by, I always come back to this brand and mostly to this specific design. Pleasant heft, reliable and elegant, without being over the top.
11. Cross Star Wars Stormtrooper edition roller ball - come on, I'm still a geek and it writes with amazing smoothness - it's Cross after all, not some random Chinese knock-off.
12. BIC HB leads for the Rotring.
13. Clairefontaine notebook in an artisanal leather cover (not self-made).
14. Starbucks chewing gum.
15. Disneyland Paris tin with Advil (ibuprofen) pills
16. JustMobile's USB-to-Lightning short cable - very useful for a quick sync and emergency charge without the bulk. Soon to be replaced by a USB-C-to-Lightning.
17. STABILO swing cool Jeans Set: highlighters in a cool, but mostly practical package that I use to highlight in the book pictured above.
18. GEO Guide Tout Paris: GEO is a family of geography, science and travel magazines. This is a very good, detailed and well documented guide forthe city of Paris - yes, no matter how well you know a city, if you haven't stayed in for a longer period of time it since over 18 years, you should admit it to yourself and let the professionals guide you. Preparing for an extended weekend in Paris with my wife and daughter (let's see now how many of the copycats who read my posts will run to Paris now).
19. Disneyland Paris Phantom Manor (the equivalent of the US Haunted Mansion) key lanyard with keys and 256 GB memory stick: while waiting for the delivery of my USB3+USB-C combined drive, I will stick with this one (pun intended, sorry).
20. Ordning & Reda pencil case with batteries for the headphones and a SnowPeak spork: rechargable and not batteries to never stay without noise cancelling and a utensil which will be appreciated by anyone who has ever tried eating with plastic cutlery.
21. 2015 MacBook 12" Retina: last summer I tried to buy one of those in the US, where an employee of BestBuy on 5th was telling me that those laptops are nowhere to be found, as Apple found out, after the fact, what a poor design it was to produce a laptop with one port. When I came back to Switzerland, and they came out here a couple of months later, my wife has inherited the MacBook Air 11" that I bought in the marvelous Grand Central Station Apple store, because I bought this one and it has been a machine that I have loved and cherished every signle day. I have written a post on Quora as a response about this laptop, which describes better what this machine does for me:
www.quora.com/Should-I-get-the-2016-rMB-or-the-refurb-201...
22. Leather gloves: old gloves, bought over 14 years ago in Bulgaria. Been looking for something similar since - it's always either too thin or too thick. Will have to do a better research online.
23. RayBan Clubmaster sunglasses: Never leave home without them. Style doesn't rest, neither does the sun.
24. Victorinox Cadet Limited Edition 2015: This is a lightweight beautiful knife in dark (cobalt?) blue which is a perfect gentleman's knife - it has enough size to be useful for everyday tasks, without looking menacing, and that has a length that allows it to be carried even in Chicago (I think).
25. Victorinox Alox Mini SwissChamp: Alox refers to the aliminium scales - the same material that allows the knife abov e it to be carried in your pocket (or in this case - in your bag) next to your keys and not be scratched. the MiniChamp is a very useful helper. No, I do not feel not even the tiniest little bit embarrassed that I have two Swiss knifes in one bag.
26. A comb: When I still had proper hair on my head, I never had one of those on me. Now it's either that or an unruly beard. Which let's admit it, is quite weird. (OK, I'm done with the puns)
27. Sony ICD-SX1000 voice recorder: whenever I'm not around people and I don't have to write down, I spare my fingers the pain and just dictate my notes. Most of the time, just debriefing myself is enough for me to remember everything.
28. Apple USB-to-USB-C adapter: as I mentioned in point 19 above, I have native USB-C+USB 3 sticks coming soon - that's when I'll lose this, and the USB-to-Lightning from point 16 will be replaced by USB-to-USB-C.
29. Mass Transit subscription card.
30. SecrID - RFID blocking thin profile card wallet.
31. Damn Handsome Beard Kit: Great present from my wife. Contains a small metal moustache comb, small beard and moustache scissors, beard oil and beard wax. Just dandy!
You cannot use the iPhone 4 dock with the bumpers on. One solution is to use the universal dock without an adapter. This is not an optimal solution, but works.
Hope Apple makes an adapter specifically designed for the iPhone 4 bumper.
But for now, I decided to build an adapter by myself. It's based on the one for 5th Generation iPod (No. 9). I cut the bottom part off and changed the shape a little bit.
Moleskine iPad Case Reviewed
So I've been using the case for a month now, I think it is appropriate for me to do a simple review here. You will find it useful to decide whether it is for you or not, provided that it is a ~HK$800 case, you don't want to make the wrong choice.
Simply said, if you are using your iPad mostly lying flat or on conference table and you need that professional look, it suits you well. But if you also use it casually on sofas, bedroom or in transit, I wouldn't recommend it.
It is a great idea to have a hybrid and Moleskine did a great job fulfilling both analog and digital needs in one product. The draw back is its weight and clumsiness when you need mobility at the same time.
Although it is thoughtful to allow both lefties and righties to choose the orientation (you can invert the case and insert the notepad the other way around), for a righty like me, the iPad is on the front cover which makes opening the case a bit too heavy and unstable. Once you loosen the elastic band, you tend to open the case from the back cover, in that case the notepad pages flew. Not a problem if you are using it on a table, but I tend to avoid opening the case in the air.
One serious design flaw IMHO is that when the case is closed, because of the soft spine, the front and back cover is not snapped into an exact secure closure, as a result the edge of the PU holding the iPad rubs against the notepad. Soon you will find the notepad frays on the edge. Not a good sight.
I am perfectly happy with the quality of the cover even though after a month's use the soft spine will show wrinkles, but I can accept that. There is one missing feature given that it is mostly intended to be used on a table, a pen holder. Well, in fact I think we need two pen holders. One for your typical pen, the other for a stylus.
In case you wondered, I've tested 3 stylus for iPad: Just Mobile, Tunewear and Elago. The one you've seen in picture is from Elago and so far I think it is the best in the market because of its handy size and reliable tip.

The Olloclip 3-in-1 Macro lens on iPhone 5. Has three levels of macro: 7x, 14x, 21x. (Does not have any other types of lenses). Comes with this great plastic thingie to diffuse the light, which you can see sticking out of the top on this photo. It makes it easier to take a photo of an object on a flat surface, since you can use it to stabilize the camera (when you can't use a tripod), and it diffuses the light nicely. This helps since you often otherwise end up with weird shadows from the phone itself blocking the light.
This Olloclip has really high quality optics (see last few photos posted), and works very well. I compared to the Photojojo macro lens that I've been using for awhile, and the Olloclip clearly has much better optics. But, I do prefer Photojojo's attachment method, since it works with any phone and many cases (not all - you still need a bigger cutout around the camera than the basic Apple case has, but you don't need the whole corner uncovered).
The optics are great, but there are some other things about the design that I don't like. It clips over the corner, so it blocks the power button and you can't use it with a case on the phone. If you upgrade to a new phone model, you have to get a new olloclip model to go with it. And, there's no way to clean the side of the lenses that is inside the clip, since they can't be reached. I wish they would make these high-quality optics with a magnetic attachment like the Photojojo one, or some other type of more versatile attachment system.
(Olloclip does make a case that has a corner cutout for it, which I may have to buy, becuase its the only one that has that. But it doesn't have a wrist strap, whcih its annoying since I went to a lot of trouble to find a phone case that I liked with a wrist strap, and now it doesn't work with teh olloclip.)

Hey guys, I promess I'm gonna be back into minifig photography (maybe including bricks). I don't know when yet but maybe before the middle of the year. I've got some dioramas in mind: Splinter Cell, Samurai, WW2, Star Wars (sniper camouflage, made a try last year: not concluant...).
Thanks for the comments and favs from 2011. Lego Flcikr's community is great, filled with great talents everywhere ! For those who don't heared it yet : Happy new year ! ^ ^

I bought this 'Jeans Lovers' iPhone 4 sleeve from Feltu.com a couple of weeks ago and it arrived today. It's quite nice although I'm not sure it's as well made or as protective as I anticipated, but I'll use it for a few days and maybe it will grow on me.

I've not done a "Whats in my bag" shot for a while.
As I was packing my stuff away I realised a fair bit of it is black and silver.
Here goes:-
Mark 1 (if there is such a thing) iPad in an Apple case.
160gb iPod Classic in a Belkin leather case. There is allsorts of weird and wonderful stuff on here. Perhaps the strangest being the Paul McKenna Cure Your Phobia of Needles MP3 download. Very useful for people with a needle phobia who were having a tattoo.
Apple genuine charger (does both of the above).
Samsung Galaxy (and charger).
Sennheiser headphones (for the phone, iPod and iPad)
My (beloved) Canon G15 Powershot. Shoots in RAW and fits in yer pocket.
Jacobs lens cloth (I know a few people who could do with buying one of these).
And last but definitely not least (because I'd wear 'em 24 / 7 if I could) my Kenzo shades.
Brand junkie? Moi?
All a bit ratty and out of date but they work for me.
The Portable is the backlite version. 1mb RAM (upgradeable to 8 or 9mb), 1.44mb 3.5” Drive (internal), 40mb HD (internal).
Nearly all plastic case components are clear plastic, including the handle & internal mounts for components. There is no serial number on the case & also none on the motherboard.
Colored Apple logo insets are not present, although the space for them is.
The case has some very minor differences than the production model. Specifically, at least one extra motherboard tab on the case is present. The signatures from the production case aren’t present. The battery cover plastic is different than the released version as well. Also, the cable between the LCD & the motherboard is slightly different than the production model & there is a cable that goes from the inverter board to the LCD which is clearly hand soldered (instead of being heatshrink wrapped like the production version). The case also has embossed Apple part numbers on the insides.
Like other clear Apple Prototypes, during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, it seems they used the smooth clear plastic vs the c.1992 to 1997 (ish) use of textured clear plastic which isn’t as see through.

Its been a month since I got the iPad. I've gone to meetings with it; chatted on Facebook with it; read a magazine on it; drawn spreadsheets with it; struck up conversations because of it; shown prospective clients my work on it; replied to emails; used it in Singapore; annotated PDFs; watched an episode or two of the Modern Family; anyhow, let's just say I've done quite a bit on the ipad. So here are my "brewing-for-one-month" opinions of the device. I hope this helps people who are thinking of getting one and helps me answer all my friends who ask: what's it for?
The iPad is a unique device. I know we use the word unique quite a bit these days. But I think unique is an apt descriptor for it. I say unique because the device really doesn't fit into a category of computers that we currently have. To call it a tablet, although its looks may suggest that, is inaccurate. Mainly because a tablet suggest inputting with a pen-like device (at least in my mind) and it conjures up PCs of not-so-long ago with rotating/folding screens, a keyboard and a scaled-down version of a desktop PC experience. To call it a big iPhone or iTouch undermines, what I think is, one of the most important aspects of the iPad—its bigness. Sure the interface (hardware and software) looks just like the iPhone but the largeness of the screen allow for things that the screens of the smaller iDevices don't allow. I will go back to that later.
So it's not a tablet, it's not an over grown iPhone, it's not a desktop PC, what is it? I think this is where Steve Job's "magical" word comes in. Before you start accusing me of drinking too much Apple-flavored-water, hear me out. This is the designer in me talking now.
Magical they say. Why? Well because its a device that can be anything you need it to be. You need to read a book, open the iBook app and it is a "book". You want to read a magazine, tap on the Wired icon and the device is a magazine. Want to watch a video, open a file and the whole screen is taken up by Iron Man. Nothing else. No bar up the top telling you File; Edit; Window; Help. No heat. The device stays the same temperature the whole time. No fan whirring or hard-drives spinning. You might say I'm being too picky on devices. But the truth is, its all about experience. How you experience what you are doing affects the act of doing (whatever it is you're doing).
The iPad has (some apps do it better that others) the ability to disappear leaving you only with the information (book, video, chat, slides, images) and your hands directly manipulating that information/interface. This is where that bigness factor that I mentioned earlier comes in. You can't get that feeling of manipulation that the iPad gives on a smaller screen. iPhones/Touches come a little close to that but not as immersive as the iPad. I think I feel it most when I use Safari for browsing the web. I do feel like I am moving or wading my way through information. I don't mean to exaggerate, but browsing with the iPad is really a different experience.
The genius of the device is the answer to the question what's it for: its whatever you want it to be. The device is different from other computers because, well for one, a computer is for computing (1+1 or how many pixels to display when the scene changes in Avatar). Computers and iPhones and iPods were all about the device. A device which allowed you to do something (and I suppose that made them easier to sell, I mean iPods for music/iPhones for calls). The iPad isn't about the device. Its about the information. I think that makes it harder to sell. It's also why I think reviews of the iPad which compare it to another, better-known or more familiar computer/device is flawed or incomplete. It's not like those things. It's a different analogy all together. Henry Ford said of the new automobiles: If we asked people what they wanted they would have said faster horses. Or something to that effect. Same thing with iPad. People seem to want a computer that they know. While the iPad has similarities is a different machine all together.
Okay. So those are my thoughts on the iPad. Its not a review per se, but I hope that gives some a better idea of the device.
Here are some tips for those thinking of buying:
Get the Apple case. Its a good case. Some people think it looks cheap. No it isn't. It fits snug and very well considered.
Get the 3G+Wi-Fi version. Pictured above is a wi-fi and a 3G+wi-fi version. They are identical in speed, screen and look except for a black plastic bar on the top of the 3G version. Like I said in the review, the device is about information. You need connectivity to get information. Sure wi-fi will do. But I'm Reinar.
If you intend to type a lot. I mean write a novel or an extend Flickr post (like this) get the bluetooth keyboard (99AUD). You're wrists will thank you.
If you are worrying about the lack of USB ports, an irreplaceable battery or the absence of a camera, get over it. The battery lasts 2.5 days (yes, days) and I am a heavy user. The camera. Honestly, we've had phones with multiple cameras (front and back) for years now. When was the last time you made a video call? And the USB ports. Well as I said the device isn't a desktop or laptop or any other top.
Is the iPad perfect. No. There are ways it can improve. I am looking forward to the OS4 which will allow the iDevices to do so much more. But I think this is one of the best forward steps in consumer-computing that I have seen in a long time.
Should you get the iPad? Well it depends. Do you get the iPad?

Lulu and Arthur. Taken with the DxO ONE "blind" — that is, not connected to my iPhone. I've recently decided to switch to a better case for my iPhone. (I'd been using an Apple case but have switched to a more protective Thule.) The new case prevents me from connecting the DxO ONE to the phone. So I aimed and shot. To be honest, the teeny display on the DxO ONE is just good enough to allow me to confirm that I have framed the shot more or less correctly. — I shot raw + jpeg as I always do but pic above was processed first in DxO Connect and then finished in ON1 Photo Raw 2017 (mainly for the lens blur effect).

I am perfectly happy with the quality of the cover even though after a month's use the soft spine will show wrinkles, but I can accept that. There is one missing feature given that it is mostly intended to be used on a table, a pen holder. Well, in fact I think we need two pen holders. One for your typical pen, the other for a stylus.
In case you wondered, I've tested 3 stylus for iPad: Just Mobile, Tunewear and Elago. The one you've seen in picture is from Elago and so far I think it is the best in the market because of its handy size and reliable tip.

My cases came today for my phone. I bought clear and pink cases to change it up some. I paid from $4.99-$6.99.

Moleskine iPad Case Reviewed
So I've been using the case for a month now, I think it is appropriate for me to do a simple review here. You will find it useful to decide whether it is for you or not, provided that it is a ~HK$800 case, you don't want to make the wrong choice.
Simply said, if you are using your iPad mostly lying flat or on conference table and you need that professional look, it suits you well. But if you also use it casually on sofas, bedroom or in transit, I wouldn't recommend it.
It is a great idea to have a hybrid and Moleskine did a great job fulfilling both analog and digital needs in one product. The draw back is its weight and clumsiness when you need mobility at the same time.
Although it is thoughtful to allow both lefties and righties to choose the orientation (you can invert the case and insert the notepad the other way around), for a righty like me, the iPad is on the front cover which makes opening the case a bit too heavy and unstable. Once you loosen the elastic band, you tend to open the case from the back cover, in that case the notepad pages flew. Not a problem if you are using it on a table, but I tend to avoid opening the case in the air.
