“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

So, I have this bag.
I can’t remember exactly when I got it; during my tenure at Be, I think. It replaced a much more traditional leather computer bag that I received as a gift (but that quickly became a chew toy for our furry roommates). It’s stylish black messenger-style laptop bag; it’s always had some niggling design flaws, but all in all it has served me well for years.
Those years have come, I think, to an end.
So I’m in the market for a new bag—in all likelihood another messenger-style shoulder bag. Here’s where you come in, dearest lazyweb: I’m looking for personal recommendations. “I’ve been using the Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger, and the small is too small.” “The Waterfield is worth the money.” “This simple JanSport is better than all those fancy messenger bags.” That kind of stuff. (Basically what Dan Benjamin did a couple of months ago.)
Suggestions are welcome in the comments below or tweeted to @dsandler.
