Needed: Travel Pack

February 10th, 2007 by Jason

I’m looking for a good recommendation on a travel bag/backpack. I’m currently using a Timbuk2 messenger bag and a monster of a bag that my company issues along with your laptop. Problem is, neither of the bags work for a day trip. One is too small and the other is too large. I need a good bag in between the two in size. So if anyone out there has a reco on a good backpack style bag with a laptop area, let me know.

P.S. - And none of the wheel bags. I like to carry the bag myself.

Update: I’ve decided on another Timbuk2 bag. The Blogger has exceeded my expectations for fit and functionality.

Faux fur - who knew?

February 7th, 2007 by Jason

In a story posted on CNN, apparently many fur-trimmed jackets and coats sold in the US with a label stating they have “faux fur”, are really made with dog hair.

Out of the 25 coats tested, 24 were labeled incorrectly, with many made from raccoon dogs. At least we know what happens to Fido when he goes to heaven.

What other products have you came across that aren’t really as they appear?
