Just realized that I really have no business commuting 2 miles to work by car except when I know I’m going to need to move stuff bigger than a breadbasket that day.

Walking is too slow and I really don’t like getting “dead arm” from shlepping my laptop, books and other stuff.

I live in Los Angeles and the notion of a big wet spot on my back from using a backpack isn’t appealing, either.

Is it safe to just get a rear bike rack and bungee-cord my laptop in a padded case? Any bicycle commuters out there with tips.

Yeah, I could go full-metal-bike geek and drop $130 on a set of Arkel briefcase bags but maybe there’s a cheaper solution that would work? I almost want some kind of hybrid pannier where I can take a bag of groceries on one side and my laptop bag on the other.

I love WordPress. I’ve loved it since it was B2. The new WordPress Theme Generator is just plain great.

Only improvement would be enabling the following configurations:

1. SIDEBAR-SIDEBAR-BODY
2. SIDEBAR-BODY-SIDEBAR
3. BODY-SIDEBAR-SIDEBAR

With header and footer areas above and below, respectively.
