Travellers wish - Theft-Proof Day Pack

There are a few different ways to guard against theft loss while traveling. Some solutions just require some common sense (leave the Rolex at home, don’t travel with gear you can’t afford to lose), while other solutions are technical ones where the right travel gear can make a difference.

Here is what built in to make it resistible:

· Lock and leave eXomesh built into the construction. It’s slash proof, snatch proof, and tamper-proof.

· Slash proof adjustable shoulder straps

· Snatch proof shoulder strap allows the bag to anchor to a secure fixture

· Tamper-proof zippers

One interesting feature of this bag is that you can remove the inner eXomesh compartment and leave it in the room as a separate permanent safe. You use the included padlock with a key and the attached cable to lock the whole slash proof inner bag to a permanent structure. Then you can take the daypack with you for sightseeing.

Is Future Technology here yet?

Remember when you were promised all those amazing future tech innovations? Just around the corner was supposed to be a shining technology utopia with flying cars, personal space travel to distant galaxies, and bio-implantable cell phones. It's almost disappointing enough to make you sit at home and watch old episodes of "Space 1999".

Don't lose hope! An amazing glimpse of this promised future has just arrived at ThinkGeek in the form of the Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This tiny device laser-projects a keyboard on any flat surface... you can then type away accompanied by simulated key click sounds. It really is true future magic at its best. You'll be turning heads the moment you pull this baby from your pocket and use it to compose an e-mail on your bluetooth enabled PDA or Cell Phone. With 63 keys and and full size QWERTY layout the Laser Virtual Keyboard can approach typing speeds of a standard keyboard... in a size a little larger than a matchbook.
