A Few of my Favorite Tools… By Jeff Zbar
Whether generically or brand specifically, they are: My Bluetooth ear piece. I got caught up in an interview yesterday. While at home, I’d use my Plantronics CS55H wireless headset. But on the road, the only alternative to holding my BlackBerry Pearl to my ear as I try to type is to use my Bluetooth earpiece. Actually, I have two - a Plantronics and a Jawbone. Both are great for handsfree chatting. My USB light. Face it: With as wacky circadian rhythm as many home officers have, working from a hotel room before sun-up is a common occurance. With my Ziplinq gooseneck light plugged into one of my HP USB ports, I can actually SEE the keys I’m trying to type in the dark. Very small, very cheap - and very cool.
My laptop cable lock. OK, I like to think people are good. If after all she was going through Anne Frank could believe that “despite everything, people are really good at heart,” I guess I share that belief. Except when I’m staying in a tourist-town hotel and my $1,000 laptop with all my data is laying bare in the place. Leaving nothing to chance, I deployed my laptop cable to secure the HP to the bedframe. People may be good, but security measures ensure they’re better.
