So a good friend of mine who happens to be a bigshot in the Interactive World woke up a few weeks ago to the NYC Housing Commission telling him, and all of his neighbors, to get the hell out of their building.

So I figure I’ll share my travel electronics list. And ask about yours… When I’m on the road… I carry… My LG 8700 Phone on the Verizon Network. My Blackberry Curve on the T-Mobile Network.
