Packing for the Indieweb Summit

Rosemary Orchard challenged me to talk about what tools I use. To start, I decided to go over some of the things I’m bringing to the Indieweb Summit this weekend.

  • Computer
    • Dell Inspiron 7370 – This is a 13.3″ laptop running Linux  which I bought open-box. As I spent more time away from home, I needed something that wouldn’t slow down under load.
    • Eleduino 13.3 Inch 2K HDMI Portable Gaming Monitor – There are a variety of these available on Amazon and other sites. I use this as a second monitor for trips.
    • Kabcon Quality Tablet Stand – This is a bit more stable then the tiny stand that came with the gaming monitor. It is designed to hold larger tablets.
    • Nexstand Laptop Stand – This brings the laptop high enough to handle a keyboard.
    • Royal Kludge RK61 Wired/Wireless Keyboard – This will be this keyboard’s first trip. It is a new mechanical keyboard, even smaller than the previous one I carried, that doubles as a bluetooth keyboard.
  • Travel Gear
  • Camera Equipment
    • Acer 4K Holo 360 Camera – Also the first trip for this item. I saw it on extreme discount and ordered it. It is a small Android LTE capable device that doubles as a 360 camera. I keep wanting to do more with 360.
    • Smatree Q3 Telescoping Selfie Stick with Tripod Stand – I use this to hold the 360 degree camera. At the last IWC Austin and last years IWS Summit I used it to hold a webcam for remotely streaming one of the rooms. Will use this to experiment with the 360 camera.
