Bag Me (redux)

I am up. Dont recall ever getting up this early in a long time…

Got back from the protest around 30 minutes ago and already uploading the pictures. Will offer link to the photoset once its done.
Kuwaiti Women Solidarity Protest. These aren’t my pictures my friend was using my digital mine will be up in a couple days (slide film)

It was a great protest I regret leaving now but I needed to get back to work. My Mom is now at the Parliament for the meeting so thats great.

They were lots of young faces there and very excited to be part of the movement. One thing that got to me was a lot of them were shouting slogans in English and Arabic. You can tell this was a very multicultural crowd and wanting change. I saw friends and family there which was great.

I didn’t hold any poster cause I was so busy running around taking pictures. I was wearing blue and believe that by being there and documenting it for people is good for the cause.

I have more pictures from my regular film cameras, cialis sale but they are slide and will take about a day to develop and stuff, but once I get them rest assured they will be on line as well.

Saw this on SaudiJeans about memorizing telephone numbers. It strengthens my earlier post on the future of domain names because of IDN and IPV6.

People have their own way of remembering numbers on their address book via nicknames or strange characters in the contacts info, cheap so why can’t we do that with domain names.

Like my blog for example. Its officially www.kuwaitblogs.com/users/nibaq/
But someone could have it in their personal DNS as nibaqsblogs.com or why even use .com and just have it as saviormachine.blog, anesthetist or something thats tagged based like nibaq.blogs.kuwait.

Thats another idea, a tag based dns system that is linked to your del.icio.us bookmarks.

I think ICANN will be dead in less than 2 years after the release of IPV6.

So saw some options that seem better and more practical than the Timbuk2 and also read some sites complaining that the original owners of the company left and most of the manufacturing is in China so its not the same quality that was before.

And luckily found some pretty amazing messenger bag companies.

I like this company ReLoad I think I will be getting a bag from these guys the prices are reasonable and really look great. I am eying their Civilian model. It is well built has good pockets and straps, buy more about then there is the extra options that I can add to it. Which I really want and need. I also kind of torn for the Deluxe model it just looks rugged, but I think it too big for what I need.

For just size wise I am liking Cocotte. It is Canadian company from Montreal and really have a nice bag called Alfredo the dimensions of this bag are kinda of weird seems to narrow for my liking, but pictures of the way it open up to show off that a large size, and seems very tempting. Sadly there is no price available on their website or how to order it except from retail shops in Montreal.

Here is a pretty cool Hungarian company called Bagaboo they also offer customization, yet their bag sizes I think are a bit to big. Their smallest is 21″ wide. I am looking for a bag that is around 16″-19″ wide.

One company that is meeting my size requirements is Bailey Works these guys have this really great bag called 40 1K its a toned down version of their Courier 253 bag yet they are no pictures of what the bag looks inside, in terms of zippers and pockets. Price wise they are great.

Now for the hard core bag. Pac Designs make one mean bag, their slogan is “Built for Abuse, Engineered for Riding”. These guys don’t mess around at all and I am in love with their Deluxe bag. This thing is a menace has everything in terms of pockets and zippers but short in my width requirements but I can deal with that. It also has a pretty tough price around it but you get what you pay for. If I do go for these guys I most likely will get their simpler one calledStreet Scene. It has less options but still built to their standards and I dont think I would really use all those biking options.

Push the Envelope with their Metro bag it is the right size and look how practical it is with the pockets and easily it gets filled up.

What do you guys think? Which bag makes you drool the most?

  1. They are all messenger bags, but its the material they use and how they cut and it. Its those little things that make them different.

  2. Hot damn, my wife thought i was insane when I went through all this last time I bought a bag. I guess I am not alone in this insanity. Definitely gonna make her come check this blog.

    By the way, check out Tom Bihn bags too (tombihn.com), I haven’t bought anything from them, but they’re a bit different.

  3. Muscati, I love carrying a bag with my stuff its liberating to know you have your stuff with you like camera, books, paper etc. So got to make sure I pick up a bag that meets my needs cause I plan to take it with me everywhere.

    Axio looks cool but I am avoiding bags that are laptop focused since I plan to use more than just a laptop bag.

  4. I’ve had a timbuk2 for a couple years and it held up great…wasn’t crazy about the plastic strap buckle though.

    I just got a baileyworks 253 courier and it’s the best bag I’ve ever had in terms of construction and form/function…it just feels right.
