Louis, MO, a board game designer, and co-organizer of Geekway (an annual board game convention here in town).
In addition, I'm basically naked without my iPhone 4S, it's with me at all times.
I use a Canon PowerShot S110, which takes amazing pictures and doesn't require a lot of fuss to get right and has built in wi-fi so I can share picture with my iPhone on the go.
On the non-technical side I always have a black Sharpie attached to my keys and a Staedtler Black Permanent Lumocolor Medium tipped marker that my friend Ryan convinced me I should always carry with me.
For prototyping games at home I have a 6x3 table I picked up at Goodwill for $20 with a Chessex double-sided Megamat on it and a 6x3 piece of plexi on top of that.
Communication
I'm also active on Twitter and love to check Timehop every day.
Productivity
At work: it's the standard Microsoft Office apps that I'm mainly in.
Most all of my prototyping takes place in Microsoft Excel.
Media
1 Second Everyday (iOS)+ 1 other
I've been using One Second Everyday since the beginning of the year to capture one second of video every single day.
Storage
I would also be completely lost without Dropbox, I use it every single day.
Other
I have an unremarkable system at work that runs Windows 7.
On the home PC: Pandora is always going, I work best with music or some noise in the background.
