What's In Your Bag?

I contributed to the flickr meme "whatsinyourbag" a few weeks ago, and I'm only now getting around to blogging about it. Go figure. For the most part, the stuff I carry around hasn't changed in the weeks since I took the picture, except that now I'm reading "The Lathe of Heaven" by Ursula K. LeGuin, not "Timescape."

My bag is an older Timbuk2 messenger bag. I've got three Timbuk2 bags, all purchased before they became en vogue. These days, there are a lot of poseurs who can be found carrying them around, but that's ok. Timbuk2 found a niche and is capitalizing on it; good for them. The red, white, and blue bag in the picture used to be called an "El Ocho" bag. Now I think it would be a "small Classic Messenger" bag. The black Timbuk2 bag barely in the picture used to be called the "DeeDog." Now, it's somewhere in between a medium and large "Classic Messenger" bag. The red, white, and blue one is one that goes with me more or less everywhere, while the black one I use if I'm going to stay overnight somewhere or if I'm bringing my laptop somewhere with me.

Feel free to click on the picture. There are notes attached to the picture, so you can run your mouse over the different items and see a description. The entire meme photostream can be found here. Enjoy...

Hi there " kristin, a/k/a gimpy " --- I was in the search engines researching SEO Software when I came upon your blog..... I don't know if you are out of place in the engines, or I am out of place and just don't realize it :-)
