What's he got in his pocketssess?

  • [アーティクル]

In my passwords post, several people mentioned carrying a USB drive with encrypted passwords on it. I used to have a small one, but lost it a while back. I don't one a new one, both because I'm trying to simply my life, and because I

don't like to carry much in my pockets. I don't even carry a keychain. I ride the bus to work.

Here's what I carry today:

  • T68i cell phone. I use the WAP browser to view bus telemetry. I also check the weather for sailing. I can also get net connected, to write my blog anywhere: Tablet PC -> Bluetooth -> GPRS. Occasionally I make a phone call.
  • Wallet
    • cash
    • credit card
    • ATM card
    • driver's license
    • Microsoft badge
    • health insurance card
    • driver's insurance card
    • legal service plan card

Why do I have to carry all those cards? Why can't I carry just one? (And still maintain my privacy.)

I'm annoyed by how big the T68i is, and it's one of the smallest phones out there. I'm intrigued by the credit card-sized NEC N900; I can't wait until something similar hits the US. I want a phone that fits in my wallet. (Bonuses: securely store my passwords, play music, carry around, charge battery with builtin USB, a mapping system with GPS)

I want to hear ideas about how to carry less.

    The thing I hate are all the promotional cards (10 punches for a free something); I refuse to carry them.

    Why can't Microsoft use the magnetic stripe on the back of your driver's license to identify you?

    I use my credit card as a substitute for cash; paying off the balance at the end of the month. And as a result, carrying < $100 in cash. Why can't my ATM and credit card be the same - especially since they are both from the same bank?

    Daniel: I don't like those cards either, and avoid them. My exception is the coffee stand at work, which I visit often enough that it works well. I'm still annoyed by it, though.

    Microsoft needs a security system they can control. Our cardkeys today contain both a radio activated authentication chip to get in the building, and a smart card for authentication on the network at unsecured locations (home).

    Westin: If they can build a pocket PC phone with that functionality built in, then I can remove two cards from my walet. There's hope.

    ATM cards in the US typically act as Debit Cards, as well. Stores with debit card service ask you to enter a PIN to use it, like if you're at an ATM. Otherwise you use it like a credit card. I'm not sure if the protections of the credit card are maintains when you use it as a debit card.

    I also remembered that I get airline miles when I use my current credit card. It seems to be a good trade that I don't want to give up.
