Bad News, Folks

The "One World, One Bag" video has been taken down. It will live forever in my memory though. If you didn't get a chance to see it, your life will continue unfulfilled. 
For those not in the know, it's a 20-minute video in which he shows you how he packs a suitcase. He goes through everything in the bag, telling you the materials used to make his clothing, and the voltage of his electronics. But the highlight is when he shows off his jacket (scottevest.com) " WHICH HAS 55 POCKETS!" He puts his laptop in one pocket, then brags that "you can still put pillows and blankets in the back!" My friends and I watched the video at least 15 times over the weekend (which says something about us, I guess). Plus, I put it on my blog. I'm guessing he got the Google News Alert from my blog, where I called the video the douchiest thing I've ever seen. Then he probably saw the hits going up on the video and pulled it. Either that, or he decided that he can do a better job of packing a suitcase and is back to the drawing-board. After all, if it takes 25 years to design a business card, it has to take at least 40 to figure out how to pack a suitcase.

I'm going to email Joel. The world needs to know how to pack 2 weeks worth of clothing in one carry on bag.
