And gaffer tape, because sometimes you just need to make something <i>stay put</i> even for a couple minutes. I'll also toss for a small digital camera with flash because it is always good to document what you did, where you did it, and how you did it. Much better than trying to remember it three weeks later. Or to document how things were arranged <i>before</i> you unplug a dozen cables and move them around.

- microfiber cloth … for cleaning glasses, screens etc…
- wet cleaning tissues … for the same reason as babygotmac already suggested
- dry tissues … for blowing your nose
- sanitary napkins…. I’m a bloke and can’t get myself to put some in my bag, but they are really brilliant in dealing with coffee spills
- antacids and painkillers … saved my day one more than one occasion
- mini usb hub … cuz you know you’re going to need more usb-ports than are standard on your laptop
- set of headphones …. to create a form of isolation in a crowded environment, for use with voip (like skype) or just to listen to your mp3-collection unobtrusively…
