Keweso Ball Point Pen
A birthday present from my girlfriend. It has traveled around the world. Sketched hundreds of ideas and written thousands of occasionally interesting words. Perfectly sized for pockets, light enough to not be noticed. I've only refilled it 3 times in 2.5 years.
Fenix Flashlight
Recommended by a friend, Kyle, this little guy runs on one AAA. Running at 72 lumens is beyond bright. Very helpful for night time walks with the dog and camping.
Chermex
Purchased late night at a Charlottesville, VA gas station in an emergency situation.
Field Notes
A staple of most designers pockets these days you gotta love these small and slim notebooks. The expedition edition is water and wear-proof (except the cover color) and last much longer in my pockets.
Keys
Only what I need daily, building door, front door, and work cabinet. The utili-key has 10 concealed tools and has made it through airport security for years. My bottle opener skeleton key is always a good conversation starter. The key ring is custom made by my girlfriend and her dad, my favorite part of my keys. Order your own here.
iPhone 4S
Digital Swiss Army knife, side kick, camera, type writer, web browser, social media machine, text message generator, list maker.
Bellroy wallet
An anniversary present from my girlfriend this is the best wallet I've ever owned. It's aged amazingly and has hidden pockets to satisfy my gear nerd needs.
Braun Watch
If you went to school for product design you know Dieter Rams. When Braun re-released his classic watches I had to get one. It's date dial is helpful when dating wireframes at work.
