For The Digital Adventurer: Slicks Travel Pack

In today’s world, it’s not uncommon to come across global travelers remotely working their way across unique landscapes via coffee shops and video conferences, or businessmen-turned-adventurers milking their latest work trip for some extra adrenaline. No matter what kind of nomad you are though, staying connected and organized is a priority. With checked bag fees on a never ending climb, being able to simplify your luggage and packing list is important, and that’s where the Slicks Travel Pack comes in. Featuring organization for everything from your daily bike commute to extended adventure travel, this mighty little pack eliminates the need for carrying extra luggage when you’re traveliong off the beaten path.

The main body of the pack is built to act as a pack, sling bag, or briefcase depending on how you stow the shoulder straps. When deployed, the comfortable harness is as at home tackling beaches and trails as it is an urban environment. Additionally, it will accommodate a fifteen inch laptop securely for travel. Multiple organization compartments keep a spare pair of shoes (or other bulky items) and high value electronics stowed securely. Reflective hits and an included rain cover make this more than just a drab commuter bag though. Combined with the comfortable back panel and smooth body, these features make it an ideal tool for everything from cross continent hauls to weekend getaways.

Where the Slicks Travel Pack really shines though is in the removable organizers. With both a suit bag and mobile wardrobe organizers, you can fit much more than simply a day’s worth of office gear. Fully expanded, the pack easily swallows your favorite suit for that job interview or big presentation, but also everything you’ll need for some after hours adventures – all without the worry of wrinkles or mixing up dirty laundry with your clean dress shirt. Sure there are other bags that can handle this, but at twenty-five liters, the Slicks pack packs much more into a compact – and stylish – package than that ancient rolling bag you deal with now. Their Kickstarter is fully funded (and only has a couple days left!) so make sure you get one ordered soon, or you’ll be stuck waiting through the best summer and fall travel without one.

Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.

If you love science fiction and reading, these classic sci-fi novels are a must

It may feel like we were recently living in a science-fiction dystopia life -- and in some ways, we were -- but that doesn't mean that we should simply avoid an entire genre of writing. Hardly. In fact, this is probably the perfect time to explore classic sci-fi books, to see what the masters have written, and maybe even see if someone predicted anything like this. Many, though, simply ignore sci-fi wholly and completely because of an association with robots, aliens, and the like.

Long story short, if you think you don't like sci-fi, you have never read great books from the genre. But indeed, many such books abound, including a number that has delighted generations of readers going back well over 150 years. In fact, one of the best things about so many sci-fi books is their very timelessness. As by definition, this type of fiction breaks away from the norms of the everyday world -- whether slightly twisting things or taking place on entire other worlds -- the stories often feel as fresh and relevant today as when they were published decades ago.
