After this post (http://friendfeed.com/sustain...), it got me thinking...are there any good, affordable (<$50) bags/purses out there?

The wife is soon to be in need of a new bag / purse and she has no love for the overstuffed and oversized bags that are so popular now. Looking for ideas for her. No snazzy colors...black is great and it has to be considered an accessory, not something you carry everything but the kitchen sink in.
- JA Castillo
@Lindsey - where are some good places to look for such?
- JA Castillo
Macy's is always good for stuff, check the clearance tables.
- pea
I usually get mine at Ross or Marshall's.
- Michelle Martinez
I'm not a purse person, or I could help more. I buy bags from REI and other outdoor shops.
- Dawn M. Armfield
Target always has cute affordable stuff in a wide range of colors and designs.
- Ginger Makela Riker
@Ginger - we shop TARGET like it is no one's business, but the bags there are fugly (as of late). That is what pretty much precipitated this post.
- JA Castillo
I've gotten some very cute stuff from Macy's. I'm really really picky when it comes to shopping for purses. I don't buy knock-offs and I tend to buy things that I know will last me a while, even if it means paying a bit more. Macy's is a nice in-between sort of place, has good sales, if you're willing to put a little energy into searching through the sales racks. And this means that I...

@PeaFierce Those purses were really cute! esp. the black and white ones
- *Tiffany Diamond*
I've seen a lot of cute ones, but more around $40, in Chinatown, the Marina and some boutiques in North Beach, downtown. Not sure where you are, tho.
- anna sauce
...wow, Pea...some of those are great! :) Will show the wife later tonight.
- JA Castillo
@anna - thanks; we live in Florida. :)
- JA Castillo
I'm looking for a purse too. Target seems to be full of the amorphous sacks I hate, Kohl's too. (I need pockets!) Thanks for reminding me about Etsy Pea, I'll be distracted for hours! ^_^
- Heather
@costillo that's too bad about the fugliness at Target right now. I've found a couple bags I've liked, but I must've gotten lucky.
- Ginger Makela Riker
@Ginger - yeah, not sure what the deal is with the huge bags and the fugliness, but that's all we can find @ TARGET right now. Maybe it's a Florida market thing. :/
- JA Castillo
@Pea - those purses @ Etsy were a hit with the wife. Three were really nice and I faved them so I can come back to them when the wife is ready to level-up! :)
- JA Castillo
The local Samsonite and Nine West outlets here had some for >$50. Otherwise, I'd say Macy'...or the ones Pea suggested on Etsy.

By the way...this is for sale by one of the guys at the last film shop we have in town. The gear is in great condition and the folks at the shop are awesome (http://www.flickr.com/people...).

I have to wonder how much longer Zooomr is going to be around. I suspect it will survive as long as the rest of Kristopher's projects live since they all use the same core technology. Thomas Hawk hasn't really used the service other than uploading in almost a year and Kristopher has slowed down his participation as well. Anyone know anything?
Haven't heard anything -- but I'm not surprised because I'm rarely there anymore either.

Re: why music matters. - http://blog.amandapalmer.net/post...
"I'm so glad I came here today and read this. While I'm not a musician, I understand this. I left a good job to pursue my doctorate. My family asked why -- why would you leave, why would you give up something good? I didn't give up something good. I gave up something adequate to get something amazing. My love is in language. I love how words work, how people use them, and what they mean beyond what is written. I think, in so many ways, when something is designated as "art," the value of it is forgotten. I work in a field that is considered "language arts" or the humanities. It's really about people, about who and what we are, about how we express ourselves, and open ourselves to new experiences. I try to express this to others, to share my passion. I see eyes glaze over, and that's ok. They don't have to understand, but I can still share the beauty and wonder of it all with them. The photograph is one of the most joyous, loving ones I've seen in a long time. It makes my heart sing...."

Gotta love Creative Commons. I was contacted a few months back about a photograph of mine that was licensed under CC. An artist asked me to use the photograph for a circus themed paint series for a charity fund raiser event. Even though I license under CC non-commercial, I had no problem with this, given that it was going to charity.

NPR or BBC? Which one holds the crown for most unbiased, fair and accurate reporting of events around the world? You can offer other alternatives if you like, just be prepared for the heckling you are sure to get if you say Fox News.

Anyhow who even attempts to make a case for Fox News will be roundly dismissed and laughed at. And I'm sure that we'll make threads lambasting you...could be fun actually.

- Kol Tregaskes
The BBC. They have the resources worldwide to cover more events on the spot. Plus there is now the BBC Trust monitoring them, and one of their roles is to ensure that the BBC remains impartial. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/)

Fox News. Oh wait, not 4/1 today. Okay, hard for me to say, but I like that BBC provides a more international perspective. Refreshing. That being said, I listen to NPR about an hour a day.
- Mike Reynolds
Alex, they report on events around the world, but they have a relatively small number of full-time reporters stationed outside the U.S. and they don't broadcast into foreign markets. They also often source stories through other news services and magazines (including BBC, The Economist, etc.). By contrast, the Beeb has hundreds around the world and broadcasts all over..
- Kevin Pedraja
At least in the last 2 decades I've really payed attention to news, I'd always fall on the side of the Beeb. I think some of the work they do is fantastic.

BBC and NPR are as biased as any other source. No such thing as impartial. Everyone has biases and they reflect in the editorial board if not in the journalists themselves. Fox News merely reported what others refused to report, which is why they captured such a large market share from day one. I think they've changed recently, I guess because of peer pressure from other networks. I don't care if you make fun of my preferences. I have my own opinions, based upon research and fact-finding. Deal w/it. :-)
- Molly
I'd call them both intelligent rather than unbiased.
- Robin Barooah
+10 to what john said. i think the BBC is more middle of the road than NPR in terms of political coverage within their respective countries. but some of the BBC's documentaries have a 19th century 'look at the natives' feel. granted, i could be viewing this through my own anti-colonialist, fuck-The-Man perspective, but i can't say that the BBC is unbiased in that regard.

Dawn, I like a nice CF as much as the next person, but I find using cheaper CF cards works just as well. Unless you have a camera with a fast FPS rate, you don't need a fast card. An inexpensive card will usually last okay, especially if you format it after downloading the photos to your computer.
