Jesse
Oh Crap! Here we are talking about me when we should be talking about tech. Oh well.
My name is Jesse (Editor and Chief of 8daysageek.com). I’m a gamer and gadget geek who thought one day that starting a geek blog would be a really fun thing to do. After trying to do it myself I found out maybe I should bring some more help in that blog is gone now but 8DAG was born on that day with the help of my two geekiest friends.
When it comes to tech my loves are cell phones, and laptops, and video games. I would list all of my gadget here but then you’d be reading for hours. My blogging handle is The Pen of Doom.
Yeah that’s a camera in my hands so here are some things that I’ve made with that thing. (redundant department of redundancy)
Here is my Qik live channel (this is streamed directly from my cell phone so if it’s not showing then that means no news for now. Follow me on twitter to see when I’m broadcasting.)

Some people have asked me to tell them what some of my favorite gadgets so I guess this is as good a place as any to let them know.
Favorite Gadgets:
1. Xbox 360 (this one is kinda a gimme)
2. My Blackberry Bold 9700
3. My Laptop (an Acer Aspire 5610. Not overly powerful but a heck of a workhorse)
4. My Ebook (a Sony PRS-505)
5. My Moleskine notebook (this one may not be a gadget by definition but I take it everywhere all the same)
As promised here is a description and a picture of all of the items I carry with me in my laptop bag (which I carry everywhere):
(starting from the left top)
1. Laptop complete with decor
2. Blackberry Bold 9700
3. WD My Passport 500Gb drive
4. AAA size MagLight (you never know when you’ll need to open a computer case)
5. A spare 2Gb flash drive (just in case I need to loan one to someone)
6. Jawbone 2 bluetooth headset
7. Victornox executive swiss army knife (it has a retractable ball point pen instead of a tooth pick)
8. Sony e-reader PRS-505 (if you sit and wait for interviewees often or just have free time you can’t live without this)
9. Cingular 8525 (always have a usb chargeable backup phone when you’re on the road)
10. A spare laptop battery (this ones self evident)
11. A Moleskine notebook (digital is good but nothing conveys feeling like pen and paper)
12. Fisher space pen ink cartridge in a Parker Jotter pen (a pen that works and writes in any situation I’ll ever be in)
13. A Batman checkbook (geeky but true)
14. My leather legal notebook (holds stuff and has paper in it, great for first drafts and brainstorming)
Well that’s about it. I’m a bit of a pack rat so all manner of other things get put in my bag at any one time.
