The virtual road warrior hardware checklist
Stumble It!Staying connnected whilst on the road - part 1
I came across this article by Dan Gillmor in the Financial Times, A road warriors essential travel kit.
The virtual road warrior hardware checklist
Dan provides his personal checklist of the key items you need to take with you on your travels if you wish to stay connected:
- Paperback book (for the queues!)
- Various USB Cables (retractible spring-loaded)
- Power Brick
- Portable Hard Disk
- Flash Drive
- Voip Headset (for Skype)
- Ultralite Laptop
- Noise Cancelling Headphones
Dan's list got me thinking "what if you want to stay connected just using the public internet and only remembering one URL and password?"
Can you stay connected whilst travelling really light i.e leaving your laptop at home?
I believe you can and you can find my own proven virtual road warrior software checklist in part 2 of this article.

Online collaborative whiteboard (OWB) review
Online WhiteBoards (OWB) aka collaborative whiteboards are a new class of web tool, which let remote users interact over the web in real-time using a shared virtual whiteboard. I have reviewed 5 of them and believe, that whilst they are not yet fully mature, OWBs could become valuable support tools for virtual brainstorming or open innovation activities.
