What’s in my bag? – School

Image by Brandy Shaul
I have two bags – one for school and then one for night-time or weekends. So the camera, phone, keys and wallet are shown in both, as they go with me everywhere I go.
I love my Nintendo DS – it’s such a great little piece of hardware, with fun and addictive games galore! I found the carrying case on clearance at Target, and its perfect as it lets me take my entire handheld collection with me all the time, as I tend to get bored during my long breaks between classes. Some of the games include Mario Kart DS, Sprung, Brain Age, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Cooking Mama, Mr. Driller, ZooKeeper, Trace Memory, Hot Potato, Yoshi: Topsi Turvy, Animal Crossing and so on…
I don’t have a laptop unfortunately, so I don’t need anything like the usb cord (for the camera) with me. Also, no Ipod, as I am apparently still living in the stone age when it comes to music – I do bust out the old CD player sometimes though. lol
Loose RAM door

My MacBook suddenly shut down! I pressed the power button to turn it back on and… click, whir, bzzt. Shutdown before it booted.
On previous laptops, sometimes the battery looses its connection. So I flipped the machine over to check the battery connection. It was fine, but the door around the battery area that encloses the RAM had a loose screw.
I tightened the screw and everything seemed to work fine. Just to check I loosened the screw again and booted the machine and everything was still fine…
The problem hasn’t returned, so I’ll just hope everything is fine fine fine.

very nice kit.. I don’t get how somepeople have so much useless crap with them all the time. This is the perfect amount.. and an awesome bag too. I have the next larger in black-darkgrey-light grey..
(but I just picked up a crumpler backpack that has a laptop sleeve AND a camera compartment.. I’ll have to add a pic of my goodies on here soon)
Timbuk2, i totally agree, i’ve used one for two years at college in Wisconsin, and they’re very weather (i.e. snow, sleet, freezing rain, etc.) resistant.
I am still amazed everyday that I use my Timbuk2 bag at how completely incredible it is. I have a few things in my life (my 12" Powerbook, my Canon S100, my Merkur XR4Ti, my Timbuk2 bag, my Swiss Army watch) that everytime I see them and use them I am completely amazed that they are so perfect for me.
I wouldn’t mind getting a couple more of the sleeves. And with such glowing endorsements, I’ll likely look into a bag for myself.
Though I tend to need something with high speed durability so I can strap it to my bike.
Is that the smallest Timbuk2 BYOB?
I think it was the medium size. "The Ocho" they called it btu i think they’ve changed their ordering system. Maybe it was the large but not extra large one. It’s almost 3 years old now.
very cool; i need to post my bag of ‘tricks’ real soon. very impressed by all your photos; keep up the go[o]d work!

i used spiral notebooks for my studies too. they are the best. and you can tear off pages to pass notes ;-p
Your pic made me remember why I miss EGM so much right now. [cry]
Can you tell me if the color of your bag is "Red" or "Flame" please? I’m trying to build one but don’t know what the colors really look like in person. Thanks!
I love my DS.
I have a black Lite, and currently I’m addicted to Contact.
Do you mind if I ask what Cooking Mama is about and where you got it?
I’ve heard of it before, but I can’t find it online anywhere, so I’m curious if it’s something I might want to put on my Christmas list or not. XD
I have the same calculator
i like your DS case!
This is a cool picture!
