I generally like things simple, functional and cool-looking. I am also a fan of bags for carrying all my gadgets and gear.  I’ve tried out a lot of bags for various purposes over the years and I’m sure I’ll try out many more. Although used messenger-type shoulder bags for many years and have recently switched over

Look, I like big ol’, voluminous backpacks for hauling my gear as much as the next Gadgeteer. But sometimes you only need to carry minimal gear and want to be subtle and stealthy, like a gear ninja.

I enjoy using leather products because of their beauty and durability. Recently I had the opportunity to review Waterfield’s Cozmo 2.0 laptop leather bag.

I used to carry a backpack when traveling. Everywhere. I had decided that with the two laptops I used for demos (a Mac and a Windows machine, before the days of Intel Macs and virtual machines!), their chargers, hard drives for content and backup of presentations for the products I was training on, a single-shoulder

smarter garter

Each day I receive at least 100 emails pitching me ideas for products to write about on The Gadgeteer. I delete most of those emails seconds after opening them because there is nothing interesting about another iPhone bumper case, screen protector or a Kickstarter campaign for a selfie stick that includes a bottle opener.

Genius Pack 21″ Hardside Spinner Carry On bag review

genius pack hardside21 03

I avoid checking bags in while flying whenever possible.  Additional bag fees?  No, it’s the hassle of waiting for checked bags at the carousel, the risk of lost luggage, and the tendency to overpack.  I tend to travel with lots of loose items (charging cables, wall warts, adapters), so what if I could find a
