I have seen these posts in a few places so here is mine. Here is a list of everything in my Laptop bag:
- Timbuk2 Large padded laptop bag. There are two sizes, get the bigger one. I have also noticed that Timbuk2 started making a version of this bag out of a lessor material. Mine has a backing on the inside of the outer material that is waterproof. The new ones do not have this. Not sure it matters since I'm not planning on getting it wet. :-) Great bag! Holds everything and is tough. I have had this bag almost a year and it looks brand new!
- Toshiba M5
- Spare laptop battery
- iGo charger for laptop and phone
- Cingular 8525 Phone (If Cingular reads this PLEASE release the upgrade to 6.0. PLEASE!!!)
- Zune for music
- IPod 30gig Video for Video (when the Zune lets you get TV shows I will can my IPod)
- Cannon Powershot SD30 camera
- GPS sensor for Streets and Trips
- Bag with about 10 different USB cables (Ipod, Zune, Phone, etc) plus small screwdrivers, etc
- Microsoft LifeCam NX-6000. Great if you are on the road and have small kids. Video chat through Live Messenger is not the same as being home but it helps my daughter!
- Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 Wireless headset.
- 80 gig USB hard drive (Music, Document backups, etc)
- 320 gig USB hard drive (Virtual machine library, full machine backups)
- 4gig USB Flash Drive
- 10 foot Network cable
- Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000. Coolest\Geekiest mouse EVER. Bluetooth so you don't need to waste a USB slot on it. Just the right size and if you press a button and turn it over it has PowerPoint slide controls and a laser pointer!
- Compact USB hub
- Ziploc with tiny packets of decongestant, Ibuprofen, etc)
- Small Moleskine notebook
- Large quad rules Moleskine notebook
- One novel (Right now it is an old Horatio Hornblower), one non-fiction book (Right now it is Halberstam's Best and the Brightest)
- Travel Document holder for tickets, receipts and the like
- CPR Kit (gloves and and mouth to mouth mask) (because you never know when you might need it)
I envy you! Seriously, that is a very impressive set of gear. You are truly wired (and wireless). The most surprising and thoughtful thing on the list was the CPR Kit. This is the bag of someone who wants to be prepared for anything!

Great "set up". Unfortunately I am not able to carry my digital life with me ... I am always afraid to get pinched.
Image your bag been stolen.
BTW:
The Timbuk2 Large padded laptop bag is excellent!

Most of these things are pretty small so it is not too bad. :-)

Brian - I'm guessing that you hold some sort of deadlift record in some small nation somewhere. Holy smokes! That's a lot of gear!
