U of Iowa has an excellent medical program, and a fairly decent music program. As well as a >>student run<< campus bus system. I have a friend there, and it's hilarious to see her drive a huge bus, b/c she's so short.

Computer paper and my Pilot G2 .07mm gel pen. w00t, the shortest distance from brain to paper, I always say. Although, hitherto I have undervalued sketching, and am looking for ways to effect this without messy pencils, like with a fine-tipped very light grey art marker. I hate having pencil lead a...

I am insane. The sketchbook I want does not exist. However, I have discovered a means to reduce the number of notebooks I carry from 4 to 3. I'll keep my journal and my [engineering] design notebooks in one garden-variety clothbound sewn composition notebook. One will be worked from the reverse side...

Sketching

Just curious as to what kind of notebook everyone is carrying around with them. What would you say is the ideal sketchbook to have with you at all times? I haven't found a portable sketchbook I liked. I really like composition notebooks, as far as the way they are bound [sturdy yet flexible] and the...

Unemployed Assassin

So last semester I tried to get a big "Assassins" game going. I had about 20 ppl on an email list, all saying they would be interested, but none of them came to the start-up meetings. All this after a friend and I had drawn up rules based on other games, and prepared a constitution to be an official...

I must side with pirates: 1. I love hoarding, as well as plundering University dumpsters. 2. Pirates are more flexible, especially when it comes to technology: ie There are more space pirates in the future than space ninjas. 3. Ninjas never use artillery. Anyone who scoffs at cannons is no friend of...
