    I heard on the radio a song that sampled Frankie Valli -- is his stuff worth checking out?

After tax and shipping, if I get the 'fully loaded' sfbags sleeve I'll have spent $280 on carrying bags in the past few months. Sigh.

    See even by getting the cheap barebones sleeve you're still diluting the value of the messenger bag. To get the most value out of the messenger bag you would need to rely solely on it. But you want a sleeve to protect the machine.

    I know it is too late for this but

    get a messenger bag with a built-in laptop area!

    I SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM WITH HARD ANSWER

    So I'm like "should I get a $39 laptop sleeve and take my huge messenger bag every time I want to carry my laptop"... or, "should I pay like $94 for the fully loaded sleeve in case I don't always want a huge messenger bag with me?"

    Sigh.

    These things are expensive man.

    Yeah. I pretend that it's in relation to tautology and onuses and such- but really, situations like this are why I'm an atheist.

    I like A the best because it relies less on depth of field which I don't like in the others. I also like how the paintballs are organized on the surface and the shadows they cast.

    However at first I didn't realize they were paintballs, so if they're supposed to communicate the hobby to the viewer then they might not be doing that.

    Eh, the other three photos are clearly people playing paintball so, hopefully they can figure it out.

    And yeah I'm not a big fan of extreme depth of field myself, but, one photo in the set has to have it so, bleh.

    They're green spheres. The lighting doesn't allow you to see the seams. I thought they were beads.

    This would require someone who uses the Penny-Arcade forums to own beads.

    Yeah, the two rolls I used at the park turned out to be over-exposed. Not much I can really do though. You can't tell until you get the film developed, and I was using my slowest developing film and had my camera set to let in as little light as possible, but, it wasn't enough.

    Though it is also just really bright up there, top of a hill, sun overhead, no shade, and tons of reflective surfaces.

    Apparently Chrome laptop sleeves are on sale for $9, and I'm sure they have better customer service (in case of a problem) than someone like inCase. On the downside they're made for 15" MBPs. Sigh.
