Fellow FriendsInTech.com & TechPodcast.com podcaster Mike @ The Mike Tech Show did a podcast back on Sep. 24, 2005 entitled "The Ultimate Portable Utilities for a USB Key." It is a really good resource for many of us playing with customized USB applications.
Several Tech Tidbits Daily podcasts from Nov/Oct covered similar topics: #1, #2, #3, and #4.

On Thursday I did a hands-on review of some very nice products from Tom Bihn. I forgot to include once additional item that was also sent out: the Snake Charmer (aka cable organizer bag.) It is actually very well designed and I have all my cables that didn’t have a good place to go in my previous bag, organized in this bag.
Also … please listen to the Thursday podcast if you want to get in on the special deal from Tom Bihn with regards to these two prodcuts: Absolute Shoulder Strap and Monolith.

Today’s podcast is a hands-on review of a customized dual-laptop backpack bag solution from Tom Bihn. Thanks to Brendan for coming up with the segment idea, and for Darcy for putting the package together. So this is what I got to evaluate:
- Absolute Shoulder Strap, $25
- Monolith Brain Cell: Size 2, $45 [hard shell for larger laptops, fits in vertical]
- Brain Cell: Size 5, $50 [hard shell for smaller laptops, fits in horizontal]
- Brain Bag: A Big Daypack for Business & School, $140 [has straps for Brain Cells]
- The Soft Cell: Size 2, $30 [padded sleave]
What I have been using for the last two weeks is the: Brain Bag + Brain Cell Size 5 (iBook) + The Soft Cell Size 2 (Tecra M4). And I have to highly recommend this setup for transportation of two laptops for my situation. I have also posted some pictures on my personal blog.
