That's my Bag, baby

I have three bags. Yes. Three. I know it sounds silly, but really, it's not.

Bag 1: The Tool Bag

I am an IT Professional, that means I need to be prepared for just about any siutation.

The Bag: Ballistic Classic Messenger from Timbuk2. I've got the El Ocho with a ditty bag, black/blue/black with a red logo.

Contains:

Bag 2: Everyday Bag

I leave my tool bag at the office most days, for the rest of my stuff, I use another Timbuk2 bag, an El Ocho again, in Black/Blue/Black with a Yellow logo, except in Cordura instead of the Ballistic Nylon.

Contains:

Bag 3: Camera Bag

This one is new to me, and a gift from my Dad. It's a Domke bag, my first.

And there you have my bags. What's in your bag?

Comments:

My "bag" is a Zero-Halliburton aluminum laptop case. I got tired of dropping soft cases, so I figured it was worth the investment.

Besides "Murphy," my Titanium PowerBook G4, I've usually got any number of odds and ends in there, from unpaid bills to bank statements, to receipts. On the technical side, I carry a USB Bluetooth adapter, an airline power adapter (which has only worked on *one* plane I've traveled on, so I don't know why I bother), a pair of headphones, and an extra MiniDV tape. When traveling, I add power supplies, but as I invested in an extra set for the office, I don't cart them back and forth daily.

I use a black Brenthaven backpack, the same one they sell in the Apple Stores. I keep it packed with Constantine (my 15" PowerBook), my ever-present clipboard, a small pile of lineless paper, and a small cadre of art supplies -- three packs of brush pens, some Prismacolor markers, a Pantone guide to web-safe colors, and a copy of The Color Index by Jim Krause. I also keep a collection of hardware in the upper pocket, such as my iPod, miscellaneous cables and so on.
