After you spend all your money on a laptop -- just so you can look cool, blogging from coffee shops instead of boring old home office -- it's time to invest in a laptop bag. Because I'm a crap shopper, I bought the first thing I sumbled upon at Best Buy that looked like it'd hold all the little bits of portable technology I haul around with me.

I wish I'd seen this first.

The Solitaire Backpack from Targus is one nice-lookin' man purse. Most bags for dudes make you look like an über-nerd/military IT officer, or so metro that you'll never pick up a woman again. If that isn't your scene, the Solitaire is for you. It has a shoulder strap for all the messenger-bag-lovin' hipsters out there, but also hidden backpack straps for a more utilitarian look. Plus, the myriad of little zips and pockets mean it'll actually house all your stuff, which is usually the problem with more fashionable bags for men.

Awesome.
