Everyday Carry Bags - Smythe Richbourg

Salt, pepper, and hot sauce make lunches tastier. A titanium spork and a good, sharp Opinel folding knife help transfer it to my tummy. I have not one standard geek bag, but three. I have a favorite for work, a different one for days off, and, if I'm taking my lunch to work, I have my required condiment and tools selection. Let's start with the last mentioned – my lunch kit.

For a wedding present several decades ago, my Lovely Bride and I were gifted with a combination salt shaker and pepper mill. We've taken to only having this type pepper/salt dispenser for the past three decades, and it's a hard habit to break.

Volvo, Mitsubishi, Road & Track among brands predicted to disappear from US next year

24x7 Wall St., a financial news and opinion website, has identified 10 big brands that it believes will disappear from the US market within the next 18 months. The list "reflects how industry trends can accelerate the demise of certain brands," says the publication, noting the "brutally competitive nature of certain industries and the importance of not falling behind in efficiency, innovation or financing." Failure of a brand may happen for a variety of reasons, but the website points out that declining sales, rising costs, losing market share and a loss of customers are nails in an impending coffin.

WaterField Designs debuts new Finn leather wallets

Is it weird that I did a happy dance when I saw the news that WaterField Designs was coming out with some new zippered leather wallets. It shouldn't be a surprise that I'm excited, because I have been using the same Waterfield Designs zippered wallet since 2006. I love them so much that I gave them to everyone on The Gadgeteer team for Christmas one year. Waterfield's new Finn leather wallets look like a great update to the originals. Firstly, they are constructed in leather and now there are 6 colors and 2 sizes. The larger size can even hold your iPhone along with generous supply of cash and cards.
