A little late on my part, but other than recommending water-process decaf, it's more a matter of you trying and seeing what you like. Decafs do taste different, imo, but that doesn't necessarily mean...

Hi,

I saw the tweet about this and cicked through, but after I read your description, I realized I can't be of any help. (I live in the Santa Cruz area.)

Not sure what you mean by "outlets and...

In the early-ish 90s in Santa Cruz. Tom had a shop on Locust that I kept walking by (it was across the street from where I parked when I'd go to downtown SC) complete with bags hanging on the walls....

My use of the Synapse is very close to what others have said, though I carry a lot of pens, pencils, and assorted officey things, and love using the pen cases from JetPens. (I'll try to post a pic in...

Hi, Paypahhat,

Are you still interested in the old-style Buzz? I have one in the old (darker) Plum, very lightly used.

Yay! Just received the tracking number for my black/ultraviolet Co-Pilot! (Plus some ultraviolet pouches... I hope.)

So looking forward to it. The pics I saw of it being used as a 3/4th camera...

That's a tough one to answer. I'd say it would depend on whether or not the person was comfortable with technology and didn't get flustered easily when using it. My paranoia is such that I would be...

ncb4,

Yes, I have received it. Um, still trying to give it a chance, but it's much less than I was expecting / hoping for. I guess having used an iPad (and then an iPad2) for quite a while now,...

Like Illinifan, I often use the sepia and turn the brightness up or down based on the ambient light of where I'm reading on my iPad2. It does make it easier on my eyes.

I have a K1 and a K3 and...

I like my purple Lifefactory bottle but I'm a bit of a klutz sometimes and need to focus on getting the lid on straight and tight. It is excellent to clean though since I can see down to the bottom...

Whew! Thanks for the reassurance, Darcy. A few of us have, uh, purple-ish taste.

What Illinifan said.

To be honest, I'm not all that clear as to why I pre-ordered the Fire other than I love reading on my K3 (and on my K1 before that) and also enjoy reading via the Kindle app...

You might want to include a small folding umbrella - it might actually rain! Fits great in one of the Synapse side pockets.

I'm down by Santa Cruz and it actually drizzled today. No, it wasn't...

Oh, I love pens! The key to really enjoying them, imo, is to match the kind of pen to the right paper. Fountain pens and Clairefontaine are heavenly. Period. Top of the line, no hand fatigue after...

I have two Synapses (could not resist the Ultraviolet) and have been known to, uh, occasionally overstuff one, though in my case it's with notebooks and books and my MBA11 (and sometimes my iPad,...

moriond, don't know the specific plum marbenais was referring to, but I know I'd love the old dark plum to return. It was less bright, deep and rich, and I love the items I have that were made of it....

Can't speak to the newest clear pouch, but the earlier one (clear, not cloudy) I have (in plum) is still working splendidly for my Livescribe Pulse pen. They've been paired (pen and pouch) for quite...

Gorgeous color!

Any of the smaller bags like the Zephyr? I'd love to have this as a briefcase kind of bag, but the Tri-Star seems too large for that. Love the green / ultraviolet combo.

I have both the Origami case and the Waterfield bag that holds the iPad2 and the keyboard, and in my case, the TwelveSouth compass (holds the iPad2). The Origami is great when I'm carrying other...

Best wishes for a fast and successful recovery! (In other words, don't skimp on your PT...)

I checked, and an iPad in the Apple case fits in the Packing Cube Shoulder Bag with room to spare, so I would think an iPad with the TB Cache would fit without any issues.

I can check with my iPad later today but I don't have a Cache for it. It would just be the iPad in the Apple cover.

However, an MBA11 in a TB Cache fits perfectly. (NB: I tried it with the...

I'd been hoping for the quarter packing cube in Ultraviolet, and I get that and more!

Order placed...

Thanks again for offering this great color.

Thanks for the info, ncb4. I'm hoping for the camera insert, too.

My Imago is waiting on me to send it in for a handle mod, but haven't gotten to that yet. I'd love to use the Absolute Strap with...

Wow, Tom, congratulations! What a huge space. A far cry from when I remember visiting you in your tiny little shop on Locust St in Santa Cruz so many years ago.

(Still have the bag you sewed up...
