    Best Backpack for 13″ MacBook Pro 

    I’m very picky when it comes to backpacks. Perhaps to a fault. I need the right balance of size, weight, number of pockets, and easy of access.

    For several years now, I’ve been perfectly happy with an Outdoor Products brand bag that has held up well. Even chose to sew a few pieces back together when they got damaged rather than buy a new bag.

    But this past week, a strap gave way, sending my precious 13″ MacBook Pro on a 4 ft’ freefall from my shoulder to the concrete floor of the garage. Even in failure, the bag held up; no damage to the laptop.

    When it came time for a new bag, I searched and searched and searched, and decided to go with my gut. Another Outdoor Products bag. The best backpack for a 13″ MacBook Pro.

    What’s shocking is how little information is available online about this bag. It comes with a wonderful feature pamphlet, but you would have to see the bag in a store to read it.



    Available on Amazon.com for $70.33 and free shipping!

    Atlassian Summit 2010: Bamboo and Selenium Web Application Testing 

    Gave the following lightning talk at last year’s Atlassian Summit on using Bamboo and Selenium for functional web application testing.

    This was basically a condensed, 15-minute lightning talk version of an hour long seminar I gave way back when at @DynInc HQ. Here is the full length series:
