Pockets full of geekery

greatbearToday I came home and as I usually do when I walk in the door from work, I empty my pockets and otherwise relieve myself of the load of items that seem to accompany me everywhere. This time I looked at the resulting heap and started shaking my head:
One keyring (more like 'rings' tangled together) containing 22 keys for my cars, the truck, garage, work keys and tool chests and cabinets among others, plus a remote for one car, a LED flashlight, and a nailclipper
A small carabiner containing the Mini Cooper key (ironically too big to fit on the first set), two 1 gig thumb drives, a WiFi locator and a Fluke VoltLight
Wallet stuffed with all sorts of junk but not much cash
Cell phone
iPod with headphones and a 40 hour auxiliary battery
Sheesh. Seven of these items have batteries in them, a few more are still some sort of electronic device.
On occasions I add to this silicon menagerie a laptop and/or a digital camera. And this is just light travelling. Toss in much more if I end up going somewhere on a kind of technical housecall, install, or working at tuning a late model car.
I seem to carry more electronics on me than the Terminator ever did.
I guess implants arent far behind at this rate.
