  • How Steve Wozniak Rolls When He Travels

    Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple. He’s also considered one of the reasons you might be using a personal computer right now. Steve took a photo of the contents of his backpack; click through to see how he rolls.

    This is what Steve has to say about the contents of his backpack, you’ll note he’s quite into Gameboy:

    You might think this is abnormal for me but, to the contrary, it’s customary.

    Every extension cord and USB adapter and USB cable shown here I carry all the time in my backpack with a few exceptions:

    • one Belkin AC tripler with dual USB I carry in my suitcase
    • one dual USB adapter is from Janet’s travel stuff
    • Canon battery charger is carried in the camera bag
    • firewire HD I carry in my suitcase
    • Verizon 3G mifi adapter (standard micro USB screws up this mifi, have to use their awkward connecter)

    Almost every USB cable is retractable.

    Every device shown, I carry in my pockets or in my backpack all the time except:

    • 2 iPhones, an iPod nano and an iPad belonging to Janet.

    Some people ask how heavy my backpack is. There are a lot more things in my backpack including:

    • the AirPort Express and MacBook Pro 85W magsafe adapter, which are out of sight in this photo,
    • bluetooth mouse,
    • binoculars,
    • projector connectors,
    • multiple Gameboy Lights (a Gameboy sold in Japan but never in the US),
    • Gameboy link cables,
    • plenty of foreign AC adapters,
    • prism glasses for watching movies in bed,
    • sunglasses,
    • earplugs for concerts,
    • Ultimate Ears UE18 earplugs for flights,
    • Gameboy link cable,
    • tons of pencils for pencil games on flights,
    • tons of pens,
    • tons of sharpies,
    • tons of paint pens (signing),
    • red-blue-purple-yellow-green laser pointers,
    • credit cards,
    • hotel cards,
    • airline cards,
    • hard rock card,
    • medical cards,
    • small accessories like olloclip iPhone lens adapter,
    • Square,
    • flash keys,
    • flash media adapters,
    • cigarette lighter dual USB adapter,
    • audio doubler cable,
    • iPad USB/SD Card adapters,
    • toiletries for hotels,
    • batteries of many types (AA, AAA, CR2, CR128, odder types for things like my bag beeper for locating my suitcase),
    • eyedrops,
    • $2 bill pads,
    • pencil puzzles,
    • itineraries for upcoming travel…

    I usually say that my backpack weighs 50 pounds. I’m not sure but I have to carry it every step through airports. I’m sure that I’m shorter now than before and I don’t walk as fast. Everything has its place in my backpack.

    Sometimes TSA takes a long time unpacking it. A couple of times they asked me to take out everything electronic and I asked for seven bins, all of which I filled (only 2 half-size), plus my MacBook Pro, plus the bag. All of that through the X-ray machine. Then repack it.

    Nothing in my backpack goes unused, although the bluetooth mouse is close.

    Nice, Woz.
