Having the Tom Bihn Brain Bag as day-to-day backpack, I wonder about the PeakDesign Travel Backpack.
The features I like most about the [WayBack] Tom Bihn Brain Bag are:
Two more things I like, but are not available any more (new products are being designed for them):
I wonder about the material differences between the two too backpacks.
Here are some links if you want to compare them yourself:

Last time when I was in the USA, I got myself a new T-Mobile USA SIM card with a local phone number so I could call and have data.
There are a few pre-paid T-Mobile USA plans interesting, depending on how long you visit the USA:

The Europen evening premier of Frozen Planet in Concert was much fun, and great to see the antarctic species we encountered alive at the big screen.
But the Ziggo Dome venue was too large to provide the right acoustic for a symphony orchestra like this Het Gelders Orkest. The sound was OK. Great though were the video footage, the humble introductions by the composer/conductor himself and Dutch translations by presenter Sacha de Boer.
Last two years (and hopefully next week “Return of the King”) the sound of Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest playing Lord of the Rings Live in De Doelen had awesome acoustic.
The Ziggo Dome should work on their acoustic system to match De Doelen.
