I am an old U.S. Air Force guy from back in the day…like my father, grand father and many uncles before me. I often think that I missed my time in history. I hate to say it, but I soooo would trade all of today’s tech/gadgets to be a P-51 or B-17 pilot. I grant [...]

Of late, I’ve had the opportunity to add a few chapters to my continuing saga for the “perfect” gear bag (for me at least), the most recent being an evaluation of the Tom Bihn Cadet. Being mainly a messenger bag fan(atic), I’d been wondering if there was one out there that could supplant my venerable [...]
As unmanly as it sounds, the first thoughts that ran through my mind when I first saw and touched the Saddleback Classic MacBook Air Sleeve was……’Ooooo, pretty’. To make it worse, I even took a (nice long) whiff of the leather as I was unpacking it….smelled wonderful. Saddleback’s rich leather, craftsmanship, and incredible attention to [...]
In my mind’s eye, I am the protagonist in an adventure serial entitled Indiana Jacobs and the Quest for the Perfect Gear-Hauling Bag. Of course, that I’m from Indiana (“Hoosier by Birth; Boilermaker by the Grace of God,” as the saying goes) aids in spinning this yarn, but so does my very real quest. The [...]

I sometimes have back pain and carrying heavy gear bags often makes things worse. I’m constantly on the lookout for a sturdy, protective bag that’s big enough for my computer must-haves but won’t add a lot of weight itself. We’ve used neoprene lunch bags from Built NY for years. These lunch bags wear like iron, [...]
All types of people love Molekine notebooks – writers, artists, tech-lovers, and everyone between. Moleskine eventually realized that people even wanted a way to make their electronic devices look like their notebooks, and they issued official covers for iPad, iPhone, and Kindle. Now they are introducing gear bags that are inspired by their iconic notebooks. [...]
We Gadgeteers have a, shall we say…fondness.. for our gadgets, am I right? Rhetorical question ’round these parts. Some cling to a mere handy handful of essential EDC, others find a BSA-like array necessary for preparedness. Some commute via public transportation through vast, sprawling urban metropoli for a day at the grind, others trek stoically [...]
