Timbuk2 and Timbuktu (Timbuctoo)

“So what is the product?”
“Ahhh a Blogger Bag”
“What? Blogger Butt?”
“Blogger Bag B-A-G”
“So desu neh?”
“I will Google it he he”
“Timbuk2 as in Timbuk and 2… but as one word so Timbuk2″
“Hey, d iba place iyan?”
“Where? Kaya”
“Timbuktu …..”
“Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego”
“I loved that game..”
“Who is Carmen Sandiego?”
“Where is Timbuktu?”
“Asia.”
“No, Mali. Timbuktu or in Timbuctoo, Intellectual and spiritual capital of Islam in Africa during the 15th and 16th centuries.”
“Geek”
“Troglodyte”
“So what is Timbuktu? er Timbuk2?”
“A bag”
- a nearly full imaginative talk between two or three bloggers during the mini-launch of Timbuk2’s blogger bag Wednesday.

The impressive thing about the bags were from my viewpoint was durability and ergonomic design: built to last and sound to wear. And based on what was displayed, won and given away (ipod case made also of ballistic nylon exterior and corduroy interior. It would seem to be a durable product. A bit pricey. But then again two things that offset price is durability and ergonomics - designed to reduce fatigue and discomfort from use.
