So I'm looking for a cool bag. You know that thing you just throw stuff in to transport from home to work, and visa versa. I've been using the bags from the JavaOne Conferences (by the way, have you registered?) for years now, but now I have a yearning for something different. You know, something sleek and cool. And by cool I mean lots of pockets and zippers and ever more pockets to hold my stuff. I have lots of stuff. Work stuff, art stuff, books to jot down poetry, pens, pencils, wine/beer opener and even a 5gb Seagate Pocket Hard Drive.

Tumi makes some cool stuff, but they are expensive. Timbuk2 have some nifty bags, but not nearly enough pockets and zippers. Chrome is local, and their Vagrant Utility Bag is a maybe. (detour link: Cars R Coffins: Bicycle. Punk Rock. Action.) R.E. Load Baggage has some very cool bags. If you want a truly unique bag, check out their custom stock. And then there's the Office Envoy from Jansport. The description "Concealed stash pockets—spy vs. spy. Hide your secrets." made me go "oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about." And did I mention that I want the bag to be able to last through me throwing it in the back of my truck and my usual beat-the-crap-out-of-my-possessions mode. Is that too much to ask?
