I was planning on posting this last week but Hickey didn’t send back his list so I decided to add my own. Essentially, I thought it would be cool to see what the CG crew was carrying during CES, offering a glimpse into the one-man-band that is a professional blogger these days. Take a look at our list and give us some recommendations for better/lighter/cooler gear to carry in the future.

Why do I carry so much stuff?
I use a Powerstick from Ecosol as a universal charger when I travel… just stick it in my laptop in the hotel and charge my Blackberry and Ipod (I don’t think you guys mentioned any gadget it won’t charge, it comes with 10 connectors I think)… I can then take the stick with me if a need power during the day. Full disclosure, I have a vested interest in this company- but I could not be happier with the product thus far and therefore I plug the Powerstick with a clear conscience. I travel a lot throughout Asia and this thing reduces cords and chargers a lot. http://www.powerstick.com (from Canada eh?)
