Bag Organizers

Today I ordered a fleet of WaterField/SFBags gear pouches, an iPod supercase, and a CableGuy.

They seemed to the best way to compartmentalize my assorted junk in my bag. I usually have two bags in my rotation: the Boblbee for my daily grind and carrying around cameras, a laptop, overnight/weekend trips out of town, and another bag for just around town and general erranding.

The problem is that this means I have to sort and file and assemble various bits and pieces. It is my hope that this will aid in my swapping, since I can just grab the appropriate pouches based on what I want.

Anyone else tried these? Anyone else found another solution that is elegant/stylish and servicable?

The other day I was...

The other day I was at Wal-Mart and bought one of those cylinder-ish pencil pouches to hold my retractable cables, power cord extension, flash drive and headphones, and it is working great. I looked at the SFBags stuff, but it was just too pricey for my taste.

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. »
