Two more Rickshaw bags
The bespoke bags Joy and I got from Rickshaw Bagworks as part of their Living Social special. Joy got the small white-and-black-with-purple-trim Zero messenger bag, mine is a medium "Piccadilly Tweed"-with-chocolate trim.
Also slightly visible: My custom Rickshaw "Commuter 2.0" laptop bag that I bought in July and love to pieces. The new one is for lighter-weight "just my iPad and keyboard when I go to the coffee shop" duties!

Picking out my Rickshaw bag
Going with the Commuter bag, spirally flap fabric, and aqua piping. Now they build it, and hopefully I should have it by the middle of the week.

Luma Loop
I bought one of these, and wore it for the first time yesterday at the Dog Show. It was fabulous. Kept my camera out of the way, but quick to pull up and use. Would definitely recommend.

Atlantic Records Time Capsule
Killer box set — 165 tracks (11.5 hours!) spanning Atlantic Records’s 60+ years. Stones, Zeppelin, Archie Bell & the Drells… all the greats are here. I *ahem* downloaded this a few days ago, and have been enjoying it thoroughly. Well worth seeking out.

The Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker From Soda-Club
Soda Streams are back. Back. BACK! Sold with an ecological twist (less recycling and less vehicular transport than cans or bottle of soda), it’s actually pretty tempting.

I got me a whatnot
Spent some birthday cash creating my own custom Muppet Whatnot on the FAO Schwartz website. I'm thoroughly excited at the prospect of having a Muppet of my very own.
Unrelated: I am 32.

VPSLink Promotion: 10% Lifetime Discount Coupon
Unsolicited testimonial: VPSLink, the virtual machine hosting service that I use to host this here very blog, has a 10% off the lifetime of your service if you sign up this month (I’m guessing their fiscal year begins April 1st!). I’ve had no problems with my service from them over the last six months, and have just purchased a second “server” to host my email and suchlike. If you want root on a remote box, this is a pretty good deal.

Newegg.com - Western Digital 250GB Notebook Hard Drive
Reportedly, the perfect thing to supersize the diskspace of your MacBookPro. Wicked tempted to get one, cause iTunes is bastard-slow when your 116Gb MP3 collection is on a network drive.
