== Power Banks ==


'''Guest:''' All right. So one thing looking at your bag, I got to ask you, and this is, this is turning into the tech podcast instead of the pen podcast, but your Mophie power station. Do you, how often do you charge that?

'''Guest:''' Um. Because I have one and I just, not the exact same model, but I, I just leave it at the house and charge it. It's like my emergency backup. Cause at my house, um, you know, my only phones, my, my wife and I's only phone. We don't have a landline. We just have our cell phone. So, and we don't have internet unless we have a phone hub hotspot. So if I lose power, I need, that's why I have it more for emergency, but I don't take it with me to travel. So do you keep up with charging that because you use it a lot more for travel?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, I only ever, it's so random for when I charge it because I only ever charge it after I've used it. So I kind of use it every now and again. Um, but it's not so much of a, like, Oh, I use it. Don't use it this time. This time. Does that make sense?

'''Guest:''' It's like, yeah, it holds a charge long enough for you to take, uh, take some charge from it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll leave it. Just refill it when, when you think it's getting low kind of thing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

'''Guest:''' Okay. I need to think about taking mine with me more. Um, just cause I've run into situations where I could, I could use it since my entire life is on my phone. Um, that's, I think my phone's my primary computer these days, um, without question. Um, well, cool. That looks awesome. And you say, it's funny. You say that it looks like I have more stuff. And I mean, I think I do have a little more stuff, but it's all just kind of spread out when I pack it into the backpack. It's not much stuff. It packs in very nice. So you, you ready for me to get into mine? I would love you to. We have, it's, it's funny. Both of our bags are no longer made if you can believe that. So I have the Topo Designs Dome Paper Mountain briefcase. And this one, I couldn't even give you a link to it because it's off Chad's page because they're making a version two as we speak right now to make some upgrades to it. So you can't buy this one that I have anymore. But if you do like it, they are coming out with a new model. Um, I don't have an exact date. I haven't talked to Chad about it, but they're coming out with a version two. But this has been one of the best bags I've had in a long time. This is, this is my work bag that I use, you know, at least five days a week, obviously, um, to, um, carry around all my junk in. And now you, now you make me feel guilty about all the junk I have in mind. But it's really not that bad, I don't think, especially for an addict. I mean, it's not like I don't have a problem, right? I mean, I have, it's clear I have a problem.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's just how much of a problem you have.

'''Guest:''' Yeah. Yeah. So I think, I think I'm doing pretty well. You know, the meetings are helping and, um, you know, we're getting there.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Guest:''' So anyway, the bag is great. Um, it's been durable. It's been functional. It's not a huge bag. So it works good just for work back and forth. Um, if I travel, um, you know, if I'm getting on a plane or going away for several, several days, I usually switch out to a larger bag.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's just so much better than my picture.

'''Guest:''' Um, a little more anal, probably.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, what is this called?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' When you lay out things like this? Just, I call it like a bag dump or.
