Keep Your Cables Organized with Skooba's Cable Stable

I've become an avid fan of little accessory bags as a compliment to my laptop bag.  They help keep my usb keys, security tokens, video dongles, pens, business cards and other assorted tech miscellany neat and tidy.  The pouches from Tom Bihn with the clear plastic front are probably my favourite, but I've also used the minis from Lexie Barnes and the cachets from Coakley.

But I don't really have anything for my cords. The power brick on the MacBook power cord is so unweildy - I just kind of bunch up the cord and wrap a rubber band around it. Not particularly classy. However, I just found out about the Cable Stable from Skooba and this might be a good solution.

You can even stash your netbook in one side and still use the other side for cords and other accessories. Sweet.

You can get more pics and details on the Cable Stable at Skooba's site. The Cable Stable retails for $39.95 US.

New Laptop Bag Discount Code Page

Just wanted to let you know that I've started a page where I'm posting all the discount and free gift codes that laptop bag designers give me to share with you!

There's a persistent link to it in the top nav, or you can bookmark it.  And if you're a designer and want to have a FUNCHICO code for my readers, get in touch!

Oh, I also added a search box. For some reason, I hadn't put one on. Crazy, I know! So now you can search for a designer or style of bag.  And you can always visit the archives to see where I have grouped the bags by different category: for women, for men, totes, backpacks, etc.

I'm hoping to add a few more little features to the site so that you can find what you're looking for. Suggestions are always appreciated!

And finally, if you're on Facebook, I've love it if you became a fan of funchico.com. And if you're on Twitter, you can follow me there as @funchico.

Thanks so much for reading!! 

Review of Lexie Barnes' Stylish Echo Laptop Bag PLUS a coupon for free gift!

Lexie Barnes has updated her Echo Laptop Bag - not only with new fabulous fabrics, but with a double compartment and a secret pocket for your phone or keys! Love. It.

Check out my full review of the Echo over on Squidoo - or just hop on over to Lexie's site to order. The Echo sells for $119 USD. And as a delightful spring bonus, Lexie's given us a coupon. Use FUNCHICO at checkout and for any purchase over $100 (whether the Echo or another of her fabulous bags - her McCoy overnighter, especially in the Kiri fabric, is a winner) she will include a free Mini in matching fabric with your order.  Good til March 15, 2010.
