The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Ordered a new backpack. I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail.

I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities.

Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
