Happy weekend, all. Just a quick update – my review of the Tom Bihn Aeronaut will appear here on Monday morning. The Aeronaut is an unusual bag – plus I gave this review the full OCD treatment and as a result it took quite a bit longer than usual to complete. And… all of these bags are difficult to photograph w/o encountering incredible moiré patterns, so I ended up reshooting a number of them.
Another, related point: I’m getting more comfortable with not posting every weekday. If I’ve got something that I think you’ll enjoy and I’m happy with the post, great – but if not, I’m not going to post something just for the sake of posting.
Having finished my Aeronaut review, I began poking around in the box Tom Bihn had sent me, only to find something I’d initially taken one glance at and tossed aside.
This time I spent about 45 seconds looking at it, noticed a couple of things I frankly hadn’t bothered noticing first time around and thought, “Oh crap, I’ve gotta take a closer look at this!” It’s the yellow item in this Aeronaut photo.
We’ll mess with it during the coming week and do a mini-review in the near future. The more time I spend with Tom’s stuff, the more impressed I am.
Have a great weekend – enjoy the NCAA tournament – and stay safe!
Oh – one other thing – if you see products you’d like to see reviewed here, or stumble across sites you think I may be interested in, please pass them along. Thanks.

“the full OCD treatment”
OCD… Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or something else?

Right… obsessive compulsive disorder – just trying to get things right before publishing! The bag features an unusual design plus has some neat features… plus was tough to photograph, so the review took longer than it normally would.

Looking forward to reading it. All your reviews are very, very thorough. I know that takes time, and the world thanks you for your attention to detail. :-)
