    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/Victorinox-31374701-Travel-Sling/dp/B00Q845R8W
    • https://www.amazon.com/Victoriatourist-Travel-Canvas-Shoulder-Lightweight/dp/B01HU9EE1Y

    Any suggestions?

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

    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.

    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 Dรผsseldorf 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.
