Am in Tallahassee today and Tuesday for the the beginning of the 2014 legislative session.
Among the tech tools I am bringing with me are four must-haves.
The first is the Breeze Fan from Brookstone. This quality roller point pen includes a battery-powered fan that cools at the touch of a button. The finger-safe fan is quiet yet surprisingly effective—perfect for professionals on the road, or anyone who simply enjoys a little portable air conditioning. This item is not yet endorsed by Charlie Crist, but it should be.
The second item is the Spy Gear Micro Agent Listener. Clip this secret listening device to your ear and extend the mini microphone around corners and over obstacles — especially on the Fourth Floor Rotunda of the Florida Capitol.
The third item is the HD Video Pen, also from Brookstone. This allows you to capture everyday moments as you take notes, doodle or huddle with a legislator for an off-the-record conversation (of course, recording a conversation without someone’s consent is illegal, right?). The HD Vide Pen records full-color video with audio in AVI video format and replays it in 720 x 480 resolution on your computer or mobile device via USB connection.
The newest addition to my arsenal is the Samsung Galaxy Gear. This stylish wearable device connects seamlessly with my Samsung smartphone to make life easier on the go. With the Galaxy Gear on my wrist, I can control my phone, make calls and answer them, see new messages and more — all without reaching into my pocket to obnoxiously check my phone to see if someone more interesting than the person I am speaking to just texted me.
