Now with tacticoolness XD,
Shockwave for the front most hand stop and matching rail cover
Matthew Taylor for the rear most hand stop.
I’d like to introduce to you the tacticool strobist bag. I was in the market for a bag for my new Gitzo 1541T tripod but wasn’t happy with anything I found. Most were too bulky and/or long, which defeated the purpose of having travel-sized gear. Speedlites are my strobe of choice for their portability and convenience so in that vein I also use Manfrotto 001B Nano light stands (19″ when collapsed), and double-fold umbrellas. Luckily, I found a bag that fits everything! You can find it at County Comm (I love this place).
Meet the Maratac Extreme SAT-COM bag.

I was perusing Reddit forums, as I sometimes do, and I ran across an entertaining comment about wristwatches. The comment, which had been downvoted several times, suggested that most guys who wear "man jewelry" style watches are engaging in "adult cosplay." As an example, very few dive watches are ever worn while diving. Most pilot watches are not worn by pilots. Few of those who sport tactical watches on the weekend are Special Forces commandos, private military contractors, or mercenaries. The much-disliked Reddit comment equated the wearing of specialized tool watches to playing dress-up.

I laughed. I thought it was pretty funny and accurate in a broad sense. I would have upvoted the observation myself, but I do not have an account on Reddit.

As an aside, I ended up looking at Reddit while researching Instagram alternatives. I'm looking for an interactive site that primarily shows me the content I follow or search for rather than algorithmically curated, targeted, and promoted posts. Flickr is pretty good about that, at least when viewed on a browser. The Flickr app mega-suxx0rz!
