I know it's a photography site, but the fine folks here that I've met seem pretty well rounded. In that respect, here's a breakdown of the major what's what:

-HTC PPC-6700 Phone
-3 Flame Lighter
-Heckler & Koch USP Compact + EFK 357 SIG barrel.
-Benchmade Tanto
-Zune 30GB(?)
-SureFire E2D Torch (flashlight)

added: The pills are just Excedrin Migraine. I promise!

Just wanted to thank everyone for the props and for having enough interest to at least click on it and checking it out. I've received requests for more firearms pictures, so I'll post maybe 2 or 3 more. I just don't want the firearms shots running my gallery.

Since I've gotten repeat questions about it, here are responses in case folks are curious about the same thing:

The SureFire has simple drop-in upgrades in the form of rechargeable CR123A batteries and a bulb upgrade that does 150 lumens (stock is 65 lumens).

The earphones/earbuds are made by Ultimate Ears. I've used their personal monitors before and know them to make excellent performing products.

I no longer carry the H&K. I now carry a SIG SAUER P229 Elite. I'll update this picture later.

My 3 favorite cigars would be Drew Estate ACID Five, VSOP and CAO America. I know...odd lot.

The knife is made by Benchmade with licensing from Heckler & Koch...hence the H&K logo on the blade. I still carry it, but it's now been "waved" (for the blade to be automatically drawn (if I want it to) when I pull it out of my pocket).

I don't use a flashlight or laser on the H&K, although I'm sure the added weight would be nice...albeit bulky. The rail is proprietary and in nearly all cases, you'll need a rail adapter.

I love the Pocket PC platform a lot! I'm more function over fashion. While the 6700 looks like a block of soap, I can open PDF files...find where the hell I'm going with the GPS...create word documents...fax...etc. It was a temperamental phone, though. I got a Samsung Instinct the day before it was released, and quickly returned it. True, it was cool. I just couldn't do what the PPC could. I now have an HTC Mogul.

    It's a fine torch, isn't it? It's a treasured gift from a buddy of mine. Cigar smoker, pdtnc?

    I'm an idiot, pdtnc. I just realized that you're like my friends and I where we refer to strong flashlights as torches. I'm used to folks saying, "torch? what?". ;)
