Anyone know what that thing is that Jude is lugging all his stuff around in in the first photo?
 
I could use something like that...

Looks like part of the "grid it" series I saw at the Container store

I have these in several sizes, and what I like about them is that if you use one in a backpack or messenger bag , it keeps your gear from just bunching up at the bottom of the bag.  (And it also helps keep your gear from bumping against each other.)  The Grid-It also makes makes swapping from one bag to another very quick.
 
Downside?  The big Grid-It sizes (like the one I'm holding in the photo on The Audio Beat) can be a bit heavy.

They sell them at OfficeMax and they're brilliant devices. When I was more into portable systems I actually used one as well. 
 
Keep things nice and organized...Biggest benefit for me (as Jude mentioned) was the fact nothing piled up on one side. Weight was always nicely distributed.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
