What’s in the Nerd Bag?

A personal gear rundown from a tech blogger covering what's in their everyday carry bag. Key highlights include a switch from Tom Bihn to a TUMI Harrison Warren backpack for its constrained capacity and thoughtful design, a deep dive into USB-C charging wattage and why most people are charging their devices slower than necessary (with an Anker Prime 140W charger as the recommendation), and a Ubiquiti Travel Router that uses WireGuard/Teleport to tunnel back to a home network from coffee shops. The full bag contents are listed including MacBook Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad Pro, gel pens, Clif Bars, and various backup cables — totaling just under six pounds.
