I may have packed too much stuff for livestreaming #indiewebcamp. This bag is really heavy. -
Got stuck in a research hole looking for a new laptop/travel bag. Can't quite find anything that fits all my requirements though. Must be able to fit the following:
• Laptop: 7.75" x 11"
• Keyboard: 5.5" x 15.25"
• Headphones: flattens to 6.5"x7.5"x1.5" or collapses to 6.5"x5"x3"
• Kindle, notebooks: 5"x7"
• DSLR: 3.5" x 4.5" x 6"
• Battery: 3.5" x 6.5" x .75"
• Various wires and cords
For reference, I can currently fit everything in my small Tumi sling bag, except the keyboard sticks out the top by an inch and so I can't zip up the compartment. That bag would be perfect if it were just a little taller.
I want something that doesn't *look* like a backpack, and is nice enough looking to carry in a semi-professional setting. Most backpacks with two straps are too casual looking, and most of the one-strap slings are too small. More zippers are generally good, since I tend to carry lots of little things that would all get lost in a single compartment.
The only ones I've found so far that are close are:
• https://www.amazon.com/Targus-13-3-Inch-Tablet-Backpack-TSB80704/dp/B00KVLM9GQ
• https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-31374701-Travel-Sling/dp/B00Q845R8W
• https://www.amazon.com/Victoriatourist-Travel-Canvas-Shoulder-Lightweight/dp/B01HU9EE1Y
Any suggestions? -
I do enjoy a short trip to the east coast. I can stay out til 11:30 and still go to bed before 9.

I'm weirdly looking forward to making coffee in the hotel coffee maker in the morning

In retrospect, watching Andreas on a bumpy plane was not the best idea. Or I guess it just added to the experience or something.

I'm in England and I keep forgetting everyone here speaks English #travel

Finally landed in Lisbon! That was quite an adventure. That took so long my body has no idea what time it is anymore. Here's hoping I have no jetlag tomorrow!

Timezones are hard. That's what I get for not switching my computer timezone in SLC. -

PDX ✈️ SLC! Such a short (1:20) flight on a nice plane, sad this plane won't be continuing with me to AMS!

Oh jeez, this is going to be a mess. They made everyone with a rolly bag get a gate check tag, but then forgot to put a gate check agent outside the plane, so everyone is getting on the tiny plane with huge bags.

Just learned a new German word when a woman walked up to my table at the crowded hotel cafe and asked "Darf ich das mal klauen?" while pointing to the table setting next to me. Context is everything.

A very warm welcome to @aaronpk, who just arrived in Düsseldorf 20 mins early. Switched on the sun for you. Enjoy! #btconf #IndieWebCamp
@btconf Thanks! I missed the S11 by 1 minute so I will have to wait another 15 minutes before I get out of the basement and into the sun! -
Only downside to staying in the Executive tower is you get to hear other executives' 5:45am phone calls through the walls.

I keep forgetting I need to lower my coffee standards when I'm traveling and outside of Portland
-
I always have a "whoa everyone speaks English" moment when I first land back in the US. #travel

Probably should have eaten at the spaghetti place at Terminal 2 pre-security. At least I brought a bit of food from the hotel breakfast to nibble on before the flight.

Darn, no power outlets on this train to Frankfurt. Also got kicked out of where I was sitting by someone with a reservation. I really need to figure out how these trains work!
