My office in a backpack
Here is my attempt at creating games development office in a backpack.
- My trusty Late 2011 15″ Macbook Pro - I have considered updating multiple times, but have yet to find a good enough excuse to do so.
- ASUS MB MB168B+ 15.6-Inch external USB powered screen - I find that I am much more productive with more screen estate - this was the best external USB screen I could find.
- Metal stand for the external screen.
- Bose QuiteComfort 25 noise cancelling headphones - Great for airport, hotel lobbys and noisy office environments.
- The North Face backpack - I really like this backpack as it has a padded laptop area and wide shoulder straps as the backpack is rather heavy when packed.
- Sunglasses and sweater - While I have been lucky with the weather so far, I find the average american office to cold without a sweater.
- Notebook and Pen - While I do my structured todos in Asana, I still prefer a classical paper notebook for unstructured thoughts, diagrams, sketches, etc.
- External Mouse + assorted cables & chargers - I almost exclusively use the external mouse for Photoshop work. As for cables I like being over prepared so I carry everything from an USB-SATA adopter to extra mobile chargers.
- Mobile test devices - Assorted mobile test devices, in order: HP Windows Tablet, iPad, Asus Android Tablet, Amazon Fire, One Plus Android Phone, Samsung Android Phone, Windows Phone, FireFox OS Phone.
