Bag Decision
DINO | Apr 20 2006
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. 5 Comments

OKay...for me it was not so much about rejecting bags, but realizing the functionality and durability of the one I had in front of me. So I rejected...this one. It felt terriblly complicated. I dont know the point of half of it. Plus I just thought it was ugly. I also sent back...this one. I mean I think it is an amazingly brave bag. A real fashion statement, but the hardness just seemed less than durable. Hard stuff can break. It really can. I also sent...this one back. It was so close to staying though. So for me, it was less about rejection, as there are no real specifics as to the why, except for the hard case...but rather an embracing of something. I have been a timbuk2 fan for 100 years, and now I have a chance to really get functional with there tool. And I liked the look of it. » POSTED IN:
