Bag Decision

So I bought a ton of bags recently. And returned most of them.

But I found one, and its not really fair to the others...because I am a bit of a home teamer for the company.

But I described in another thread the stuff that I carry. How I was unhappy with the bags that I had been using, now that I had more tasks to complete.

I decided on the timbuk2 laptop bag. It is not a sufficient messenger bag really, but as far as the urban professional/academic...its perfect. The laptop sleeve is created really well. The padding is right on. Its also visually sedate which I like.

I have a timbuk2 ipod case, so that is a good function.

So I put my 17 inch powerbook in there, and my mead binder thingy, and my moleskine, and a book. In a pencil bag, I carry pens and pencils and jump drives.

I have not found a way to get the powersupply and what not in the laptop bag, but I assume I just have not really looked.

Thanks to everyone for the advice.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
