My Picks: Top 5 Gadgets

I was recently asked an interesting question.  “What are five tech gadgets that you can’t live without?”  Some of my picks aren’t really gadgets…I just went with the stuff I derive the most value from in a work context.

Blackberry + Tether:  Email anywhere on the device and ~DSL connection anywhere on my laptop with the tether (can’t do this legally with an iPhone or android phone yet).

MacBook Pro:  Sweet edgy laptop perfect for my coffee shop emo twitters.  I just want to fit in.  And it’s the best computer I have ever owned.

Belkin 4 Port USB Hub:  1 USB plug at my desk currently hubbing/organizing my printer, mouse, monitor and phone cords.

Refurbished <$200 22 inch LCD Monitor:  Used flatscreen HP monitor from on Amazon – stays at my desk and allows me to have healthy ergonomics.

Molskine Notebook; Ruled, 5×8 :  Some people get crazy with these.  I find the best function is elimination of loose notes floating everywhere.

What am I missing?
