Looks like "Alec" was dozing off on the train... long day, I suppose.

Nice photos as always!

thanks karlj!

alec worked pretty hard that day!

he was carrying:

• a brain cell with a macbook pro inside,
• a soft cell with a macbook inside,
• a medium organizer pouch with a kindle 2 inside,
• power adapters for the macbook and iphone, an apple airport express, pens, a writing pad, a travel sized toothbrush and toothpaste,
• a 1.5 liter water bottle in the side pocket.

in addition to all of that, on the way to philadelphia, he also had inside a packing cube backpack with toiletries and a change of clothes. we left those behind at the hotel once we got to philadelphia.

btw, you snapped a photo of my favorite B. Franklin sculpture (with the printing press). I used to pass that all the time to my internship at City Hall.

i really like the color of this particular smart alec. the store website photos don't do it justice.

Wonderful pictures as always...and I am still waiting for the video of the smart alec!!! Can you also tell me if the back is padded; and how wide the waist strap is? I find the less wide ones cut into my tummy!

Is this the black/black/Steel Smart Alec? Or is it the Black/Steel/Solar? The website really makes the steel almost silver-ish, if this is how it actually looks (somewhat dark) I may have to change my order to steel again. I really like the solar interior.
