Soyuz Parachute Laptop Bags

Soyuz Parachute Laptop Bags 06/01/2004 03:19 PM

So I want to hate this, but the little astronaut inside of me is squealing (I think he's running out of air). For $225 everQuest Design (I know, but forgive them) will sell you a laptop bag (of unknown quality) that incorporates an authentic piece of the parachute from the 1990 Soyuz TM-8 Space mission. That's right -- part of this bag has been in space.

And if the Russian space program isn't your bag (oh god, I'm sorry), they also have a series of satchels made from the sails of the 1974-1977 America's Cup winner that might just float your boat (I'm here all week, you unlucky bastards). The America's Cup bags are only $145.

Crafty crackhead Powerbook made from
garbage bags

Crafty crackhead Powerbook made from
garbage bags 12/30/2004 02:45 AM
Cory Doctorow: There's a big-city hustle that goes like this: a hustler comes up to offering to fence you some stolen big-ticket electronics item, still sealed in its box -- say, a video camera. You can heft that box all you like, but no opening the shrink-wrap, as that would lower the resale value. Once you give the crackhead $20 for this boss $1000 camera and tear off the shrinkwrap, you discover that you've just bought a brick in a camcorder box. Basically, it's what happens when you combine crackheads, a supply of fresh consumer electronics boxes, and a shrinkwrapping machine.

Here's a modern twist on an old favorite: buy a Powerbook for a double-sawbuck. What's in the black, sleek Powerbook box?

"A fake laptop made of gray garbage bag and cardboard, spray-painted platinum silver and finished with A HAND-PAINTED APPLE LOGO DONE IN WITE-OUT."

Oh, man, that's some Martha Stewartoid crackhead creativity. Link (via Making Light)

PopGadget points out a few of the more fashionable options in laptop bags for men or women, including this cheery pink bag from JZMO that nestles pockets for PDAs, business cards, and laptops inside a padded leather and suede bag, the sales proceeds of which go entirely to breast cancer charities. It needs a shoulder strap, though, or they'll have to start another charity for crimped spines.

Matias Adds Sudden Motion Sensor Tech to

Jeff Carlson (~270 words)

Matias Adds Sudden Motion Sensor Tech to Laptop Bags -- Laptop bag designer Edgar Matias announced today that his company has licensed Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor technology for use in a new line of bags for PowerBook and iBook portable computers. First announced in the 31-Jan-05 revision of Apple's PowerBook G4 line, Sudden Motion Sensor technology automatically detects changes in axis position and accelerated motion, then instantly parks the heads of your hard drive to reduce the chance of data loss. The new models in Matias's Laptop Armor/Inflatable line of bags includes a similar sensor chip. When the sensor detects that the wearer is toppling (backward, forward, or to either side) due to the weight of the bag's contents, self-inflating balloons deploy around the bag to add further protection to the laptop and the person; balloons in the forward-facing backpack straps provide protection in the event of a forward topple. A vital catalyst to speed the inflation of the balloons is a secret ingredient derived from domesticated foliage grown widely in British Columbia, Canada. The company refused to elaborate further. Once deployed, the bag must be returned Matias so that the bags can be refolded and the internal air canisters replaced. For an extra $50 up-front fee, Matias will perform this service up to five times. People with exaggerated balance issues can also opt to purchase a $35 self-refill kit that includes the replacement canisters and detailed folding instructions. The Laptop Armor/Inflatable bags, ranging in size to accommodate all Apple laptop sizes, are available as of 01-Apr-05 for $200. [JLC]

Blogging at ALA Midwinter - Be a Part of it

I will be working with the Public Library Association on an official weblog (you heard that right - official). We will be kicking it off by reporting on PLA-related events at ALA Midwinter. This is going to be huge. Very huge. There will be photographs. There will be interviews with presenters, attendees, exhibitors, and PLA members. There will be reports from the meetings (if allowed), keynote addresses, dinner meetings and networking functions. There will hopefully be special reports from committee members. My point? We're going to blog it and we're going to blog hard. And, we're going to do it right.

Why do I say we? Because I need your help.

I am looking for a bunch of people (20 or so) who will be willing to report on the conference and post to the PLA blog....

Steven gets one of the biggies! Help him out, because this will be the start of something big. Congratulations, Steven - way to go!
