June, 2006
This post was inspired by the most recent "this is how you should live your life" posts on 43folders. I blogbarfed a way-too-long comment that was in poor etiquette, and decided to edit it down into two related posts here. I'll add to it as I remember more things, and I'll add photos the next time I have to pack for travel.
Just like any moving part, the collection of things I carry from place to place is scrutinized repeatedly for ways to reduce weight. An obvious decision, I've separated my car keys from my house keys so I don't have to carry the big plastic lump with me since there's zero chance that I'll be using it.

I had worn through the crocodile epidermis (ok, put that way it's kind of nasty) on my older JLC, a Master Chronograph that always astonishes watchmakers when they see it, much like the last of the Interceptor V-8s.
This is kind of odd, because it's one of the mechaquartz models. Quartz being, in this age of neo-retro-horology, like going commando at your wedding, and not being in a kilt while doing so. I like to remind the pain-in-the-butt purists that Patek makes a huge number of quartz watches -- but then, those who know, know, and those who don't know, we don't care to know, because who are those people anyway?
I've jumped from AT&T/Cingular/AT&T to Verizon for my phone service, primarily to wriggle out of my insane $170/mo phone bill. As such, I have a used Treo 650 to unload. It's unlocked, can be used with any GSM carrier, all you need to do is slip your SIM card in.
One thing about this phone, it's good for taking pictures while no one is looking, and they have no idea that's what you're doing. Good for catching people doing dumb, embarrassing stuff.
At the very least, the phone itself is worth about $150, just as a trade in on a Treo 700p, if you were so inclined. If you're in SF, there's no shipping involved swing by SOMA or downtown, stuff a wad of cash in my hand, and it's yours.
