I love carrying everything I may need with me at all times. I have keys for my car, my wife’s car, my house and various keys for various jobs. I also have a small combo tool that has screwdrivers, a flashlight, a pair of pliers and a knife. I also like to use exact change when I can, so I carry a variety of coins. Add to this two flashdrives and a spare key for my car in case I lock the others in (saves my bacon at least twice a year).

My wallet contains a couple credit cards, a drivers license, and various shopping cards that get me great deals at a number of discount markets and restaurants throughout town. My cell phone and a small notebook that I use for jotting stuff down are also almost always on my person. I love being prepared and having any tool or device I might need at the ready.

The problem with all of this is not the lack of storage options. My primary concern is my image. The best possible solution to my storage needs would be a fanny pack. I could carry everything I need with me at all times. There are even fanny packs that support water bottles, cell phones, and have holes for threading headphones from your brown Zune.

Is it possible that someone will come out with a fanny pack that will not ruin my reputation as a taste-maker and trendsetter for techno fashion. A Scott eVest is a great alternative to the fanny pack, but they are too dang expensive and they also are very warm in the summer time.

If you are a techno designer, please make a fanny pack that isn’t nerdy. Perhaps the difference between nerds and geeks is that nerds wear fanny packs.
