On February 14th I wrote about "The Perfect Laptop Bag - how hard can it be?" Where I wrote about my disappointment about finding the coolest laptop bag ever as seen carried by Dexter in Season two of the TV series, the Oakley S.I. Computer Bag, only to find out is out it was discontinued from the manufacturer.

But blogging has its benefits, at least when you have Google helping you out. Somebody found my  blog post by googling, and left me a comment on my blog post, informing me that he could get me these in black, linking to an eBay auction. By the time I saw the link the item was gone. But after a bit of emailing between me and ebay user blue.zapfel, I now have a bag on the way to Norway.

I think this is really cool. This is how the Internet should work. Making the world a smaller place, letting people find and help each other out. Here I was in Norway, really wanting to get this item, googling, searching eBay and so on, but without any luck. I found a couple of web shops that still had a few left, but they did not ship overseas, and most other places it was sold out. Then 3 months late this guy finds my blog and let's me know he can get me one if I am interested, I respond and one week later he tells me he has some available. Easy payment through PayPal and the shipment is one the way. Thank you very much "blue.zapfel" I really do appreciate it!

So soon I will post a picture of myself, a huge Dexter fan, with "Dexter's laptop bag" on my shoulder on my way to work!

By the way - I am not the only one who has been craving this bag. Just have a look at the Dexter Wiki, or google "Dexter's laptop bag" yourself.
