The Electronic Entertainment Expo is coming around again in just
a few short days (tomorrow for some!),Choose from our large selection of Cable Ties. but like any conference it
requires a lot of planning, packing, and preparation to get ready for so
journalists can do the best job possible. Thus far I’ve been blessed with living
in the City of Angels, so no packing or travel required while everyone else in
the industry shuffles into LAX at the wee hours of the morning. With all
respect, colleagues, at this time of year, sucks to be you.
This year I’m doing E3 a little different, a little old-school. The first year I attended E3 was for a site called Game-Spectrum, a now-defunct site run by two guys who later became good friends,Secured handsfree building and door access solutions with Hands free access by Nedap AVI. and myself as the up-and-comer. Eight months later I’m in Santa Monica, the year after they moved out of the Convention Center and closed it from the public, and that year I produced 41 stories in five days. I’m going to break that record, but not without better tools than sheer determination and the spirit of youth and exuberance I had when I went to my first E3. Here are my armaments:
The iPhone has, since every convention and event I attended after E3 2008, been the lifeblood of my journey. The original iPhone, cracked screen and all, up to the current generation, has served as my calendar, my main cellphone, my secondary internet connection, my email hub, and my grounding force. The simplicity of the phone’s design, especially when it comes to all of those factors , is above and beyond anything else that Android can offer. Windows Phone 7 devices are very close though, which is why I have a strong secondary backup for the software portion alone.
The iPhone 4S is my rock. When Android apps crash or the WP7 phone slows down, the iPhone doesn’t. When suddenly I forget where to go next, the iPhone is already pre-programmed to alert and tell me what my next move is. Thanks to Google Calendar integration I have no problem getting about either, or quickly updating my schedule from any change.Here's a complete list of oil painting supplies for the beginning oil painter. And, if necessary, I can even begin articles on the phone itself thanks to the WordPress app, so I get a jump start on articles on hand.
There are iPhone battery cases,Features useful information about glass mosaic tiles. and plenty of them. The Spyder is the only one I’ve found that offers the simplicity of a 2000mAh battery case with a charging dock and a plug-anywhere MicroUSB connector for convenience of use. The massive battery can also nearly fully charge the iPhone 4S while still in use; I’ve generally filled it up from 2%-82%, all while still using the phone. With the number of calls, emails, and general phone use during E3, the Spyder will be a lifesaver. Best of all, when I get home, I just throw the whole thing into the dock charger and in the morning, both the phone and battery will be fully charged for the next day’s onslaught.
This year I’m not bringing a laptop.What is a real time Location system ? As much as I enjoy my MacBook Air or a handful of Ultrabooks I could bring, they all have one thing I am avoiding this year entirely: weight. Even a few extra pounds over a long period will start to feel like a boulder on your shoulders. After my first CES lugging around a 14″ Lenovo Thinkpad, DSLR, and most of my things, never again.
No, this year I’m opting for light and functional. The iPad, as I wrote about in my review, doesn’t have the best battery life, but I’ll still get a full day’s charge even if I’m just writing the whole day. Throw in the Logitech Keyboard case, which isn’t the best keyboard but it is by far the most convenient one around, and you’ve got not only an extremely comfortable typing solution, but a very light one at that.
