Melbourne, F1 and Crumplers
Friday was a day trip to our Melbourne office, which is located only a few hundred meters from Albert Park where the Melbourne Grand Prix is run - and for the non-race fans out there, last weekend was the GP weekend in Melbourne. In the office, we could hear the cars practicing.
I was in the market for a new laptop bag so after work I headed over the the Crumpler Custom Shop in Fitzroy. Long time readers will know that I had a Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Camera bag modified by them back in 2005 (added a Quick Flick Buckle to the strap) and while I could have gone to the Melbourne CBD shop it was a short taxi ride to Fitzroy and I just had to go. I was back and fort between the Considerable Embarrassment and The Part and Parcel. The former bag was a tight fit for my notebook (but it did fit) and the later was much more padded and overall just a bigger bag. The nice shop assistant was pointing out the quick flick buckle and I mentioned the mod I had done to my camera bag and she said "Oh, so you're Rob" - seems I'm famous :) or possibly infamous... She went on to tell me that someone had come into the shop asking for the quick flick mod on their camera bag - seen on my site - but alas, Crumpler doesn't do them any more...
I ended up getting The Considerable Embarassment. I'll review it soon.
