Failure
Some people have an ability to dissect and distill failure, they an innate ability to make their failings relevant and a learning exercise. I’m not one of those people. I believe it’s usually pretty obvious why something fails. Poor planning, lazy execution, no follow-through. Probably all of those contributed to the Satchelist sucking wind.
I still feel it was a good idea, a blog dedicated to laptop bags. Who hasn’t suffered through the frustration of trying to find the perfect tote for their tote-ables, especially with all the digital debris we lug around today. But alas the site’s tepid response and inability to connect with any manufacturers render it pretty useless. Unlike a food site, it becomes difficult to buy bag after bag to do reviews and talk 3rd hand about a review you read somewhere is boring endeavor for author and reader. All the awesomest Wordpress plugins and cool flickr feeds in the world won’t make up for shitty participation and a lack of good content.
The Satchelist has been put on hiatus. I’ve taken to carrying my laptop in a paper grocery bag and recommend you all do the same.
