Sanuk Kerouacs.  Love these things.  $30 and with a name like Kerouac, how could I not buy them.

Quote:   Mexico 66 isn't particularly wide but the canvas is very flexible and loose-fitting -- very comfortable.   I love those white/black/brown ones.  The grey ones on the previous page are nice too.  I thought my new beige/red striped looked good... but damn.  Where did you get...

Red Hot Chili Peppers. RIP Hillel Slovak, welcome John Frusciante

A few years ago I got a Fender acoustic starter pack (DG-8S is the guitar) that comes with everything you need to get going. It still plays very nice; in fact I think the sound just keeps getting better with time and use. So I recommend that.

Dropped my Rotring 600 and bent the tip 45 degrees. Was afraid of that, I always thought that part looked vulnerable. Time to get another.

Check out the Radtech Sleevz. They're soft, but I absolutely loved mine when I had my iPod.

I have a very basic Nokia that I can call and text with, and that's all I want to do with my phone. To take it further, I've been living in my apartment for the last 6 months without internet or cable. It was a great decision. I'm reclaiming time that was wasted by the internet/TV and using it...

To those that have a Rotring, anyone know what the letters mean that you see when you twist the top?

For what it's worth I went ahead and ordered a silver and a black 0.5 the other day. Should get them soon.

I agree, do we have enough in the group buy to proceed? I'd like to get this show on the road, my writing gets sloppier by the day no thanks to 0.7mm Bics.

Got a pair of the Vibram Fivefingers and ran with them yesterday and today. Feet are sore, but that's probably a product of me taking a couple days to figure out how to run in them properly. I can already tell I'll be using them almost exclusively when exercising (as in, no more cross trainers...

I've also bought a pair of Newbs online, I think from Zappos. Only reason is the color scheme I wanted wasn't available in any local stores. Quite happy with them, wearing them as I type. That said, I already had the same model in different colors, so I knew they fit my feet well.

Anyone have a pair of the Vivo Barefoots? They're probably not ideal for running, but I might go for them for everyday use. I've been very intrigued about the barefooting idea since I found this thread just yesterday. I've been meaning to get back into running but now I don't want to start until...

Was kind of afraid of that, I mean isn't the 600 a discontinued pencil? There must be only so many left that aren't in somebody's posession yet.

Think that sort of thing is illegal. That said, I pulled a similar trick after my Razer mouse stopped working. Bought another one from Best Buy, packed up the broken one, and returned it, claiming it was defective. They were none the wiser. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you end up in the...

I was in Newbury Comics the other day browsing the vinyl section for some material to use with my newly acquired stereo setup. Some friendly fellow overheard my girlfriend and I wondering aloud what some terms meant (both of us being new to vinyl). I think the question at hand was regarding a...

I'm interested in one of these Rotrings, for what it's worth. I expected the price to be closer to $100 for all the praise it's getting. Count me in for the group buy.

The last night of my freshman year I got wasted and puked on my unsuspecting sleeping roommate who was on the bottom bunk, and went back to sleep. By the time I regained consciousness the next day he had already left, and that was the last I ever saw of him. It was the perfect ending to the year.

Old pictures - both these have pets have since passed. Now we just have 2 cats. My mom's a cat person. I miss my dog.

Pencils currently in rotation: As for pen spinning, the only one I can do is the basic twirl around the thumb. It's a common sight among my engineering peers. We constantly have pencils in our hands.

+1 for acoustic. There's only so much you can do with an acoustic, so you'll spend more time focusing on playing smoothly as opposed to messing with effects, soloing, and all the other stuff that comes with an electric. And if you do finally make the switch to electric, you'll be able to...
