It seems like people use many different tools to get through everyday life. The last couple of days I looked deeper into what tools I use in my work. All software applications are excluded, I probably must make a new list of them.

So here’s a list of some of the hardware I use in my work:

White board
A White board is a great tool for seeing connections and thinking. I probably use mine most to think about ideas/problems. I draw/write them on the white board, and then I walk (literally) around my office looking at the white board - It usually helps.

Pencil
I use a Caran d’Ache fixpencil 3. When I was a child, I used to go with my farther to his work on Saturdays. My father is an architect, and he always used these kinds of pencils, so naturally enough I always drew with them. Last year my father asked me what I wanted for Christmas, all I could say was “‘One of your pencils”. And I got one - Thanx Dad :-D

Journal
Moleskine cahier journal (soft cover, extra Large: 19 x 25 cm)

Which always are with me, ready for new ideas to be plotted down.

Post It (7 x 12 cm)
Post-it are superb for plotting down ideas at night (when its dark). This way I don’t wake up my family, just because I wake up with an idea to measure tags.

Mobile Phone
I use a Nokia N73 mobile phone with extended 2 gb. memory card. The two main uses of my phone is: Calendar (synchronized with Outlook) and the camera (Carl Zeiss optics) I use this device to keep track of meetings and to document my every day life by uploading to my flickr account.

One of the reasons for me to buy just this phone was N73s ability to take pictures in poor lightening conditions.

Laptop
I use a HP Compaq nc8430 which suits my needs. I am not really a tech geek when it comes to computers, I am satisfied when I can trust the machine.

Theres probably many tools which I forgotten to write about.
