There actually are orientation patterns in the corners - and they do seem to help it do a good job of un-stretching the page.

I'll stick with my leuchtturm link[1] notebook. Seems more flexible, and I don't see it as a real advantage to directly tie the image to adobe's stuff vs. dropbox/email. [1] http://www.leuchtturm1917.com/

I like the dotted paper as well. Rhodia and leuchtturm1917 also both make moleskine-style notepads with much better paper, less ink show through than the moleskines. I've been using a Leuchtturm Link ( http://www.amazon.com&#

It's seemingly not an uncommon pattern in electronics related hobbies, you'll have a few main forums with their own orthodoxy, and a banned former member who disagrees, and clearly has at least a good idea what they're talkin

If your city has one, I've found Hackerspaces are a great way to find a community to learn from for this kind of thing.

I've also been using a Cherry Clear switch ErgoDox at work for a couple of weeks now. Tweaked my layout a few times, and am now extremely happy with it. Massdrop ( http://massdrop.com ) runs pretty frequent periodic group buy

Two guys I know through the local hackspace have had this done. One is a cable/internet tech, and claims that it may have saved his life - you can't perceive voltage potential, but you can "sense" current flow. He was st

The advantage doesn't scale up well. small quadcopters basically speed up and slow down the motor itself to control how much lift is generated. As the size and weight of the blade increase, inertia makes that impractical, so you have t

If you haven't tried it, I'd also checkout the rather creatively titled "Pinball Arcade" - ios, android, xbox, PS3, etc. They got the licenses for a bunch of old tables, and are adding one or two a month. Very good physics engine, and they'

I've been keeping an eye on the ergodox, but was probably going to go with a kinesis. You've tempted me about the fun of building one myself instead. Could you ballpark what the cost to build one would be?(ignoring tools like the soldering

2nd Ave North and 2nd Ave West run parallel to each other, two blocks apart. I don't think a compas was much help for navigation, or at least I don't think one was consulted during the naming process.

If the movie featured any sort of CGI, they most likely used Linux at least for the rendering. Windows licences for your entire render farm are expensive. Autodesk's Maya (A 3D animation modeling and rendering package) is fairly dominant in
