On getting more mobile, lightening the load, and increasing the tiny all powerful tech that can practically fit in your pocket… how adorable is this Malcom Frontier Mojito wallet? As they describe it “Keep it simple. For those that want to travel light- for the night, weekend, or life. Holds up to 4 cards and elastic strap makes sure they’re not going anywhere. Side pocket works like a money clip- without the clip.” ~ see more pics on the next page!

Chalk this one up as a bit of a dream post ~ been obsessing about the idea of flying with less than 1/3 of my hand carry feeling like chargers (really, there is MUCH better use for all that space and weight ~ or to ease the load on my back?)… so finally, it’s begun! Powermat! One charger for all the devices? I’m most interested in the portable version ~ and dreaming about it charging my netbook and cellphones and camera batteries while i travel… or even right now as i sit on my flight trying to ration the one plug between the seats… see more pics of the portable powermat on the next page!

This is a netbook resource center, and really that can probably mean just about anything. So today, i’ve decided to branch out a bit and share some spaces that certainly call out for netbooks… and i’m also half awake and stuck in JFK after my 7:30am flight to SFO got canceled. Yes, i was up at 5. Yes, it was painful. And now i’m sitting around in The Lounge ~ since it was the only lounge open at the ungodly hour of 6am hour… so painful, bags so heavy, this quick redeye in and out of ny after two nights thing certainly starts to take its toll fast! But yay for being fed, having overly (yet oddly) designed lounge space to rest in, catching up on newspapers/magazines and wifi! And looking around me ~ there are a few netbookers hanging out lounging between flights in here! So on places that make me wish i had my netbook with me (really, a lighter hand carry would be SO nice this morning!) ~ airport lounges definitely make the list of perfect spots… now if only other people would start waking up so i could skype them or something? Take a peek at some of the other silly pics of this bizarre lounge… from the ostrich body table thing to the panton chairs (tons of normal, and the teeny ones for kids) as well as the silver puzzle spheres… all on the next page!

Seriously, who can resist a “sexy little laptop sleeve” ~ especially when its so delicately subtle with its matte black on gloss black patterns? AND you can clip the strap on it and toss it over your shoulder when needed? Last night i popped over to the Joby Inspired Store/Gallery pop up in Hayes Valley in SF ~ and just LOVE what they are doing, but totally feel for this adorable sleeve from Acme Made! Definitely add it to potential gift lists too ~ its incredibly affordable in the $30 dollar range. So go see more pics on the next page!
