The Leather!
You know that I got a new computer the other day. Well, I've been basically carrying it with me everywhere. To work, to dinner, my office here at the house, The Chair *evil chord*....
Why? Because I can, that's why. :) Sucker is light, thin, and easy to tote around.
But I didn't want to just...carry the naked laptop around. It might get stained or scratched or dented or otherwise unshiny.
I've been using the neoprene laptop sleeve I bought at Fry's *Nirvana1 chord* for my old laptop, and it works great. Except for one thing: no handle.
So I started looking for a new sleeve. I prefer leather2, and I quickly narrowed my choices down to just two, and then after only a little deliberation, I ordered the Saddleback Leather Laptop Case. And it's already on its way from Texas. UPS claims it will be here by Wednesday! From what I've heard about these Saddleback bags, I could feed one to a hungry wolverine and it would come through "slightly scratched." :)
And then I promise I'm done spending money for a while. Really. Well, OK, until Dragon*Con on Labor Day weekend, anyway. :)
Gah! It's August. I let that sneak right up on me.
Curse you, acquisition cycle! Dammit! This one really did sneak up on me.

- No, not that one. The one without Kurt Kabang.
- Tougher, nicer, provides more protection.
