this is not a blog
Dear few regular readers and all the people who land on this site through Google,
I’ve moved to Tumblr, because it’s just so much easier to make short posts and re-blog other things, which is pretty much what I did here. That along with the fact that I don’t have to RSS to other blogs that I want to read and the ease of being able to “follow” people is what makes Tumblr so appealing.
Also, the fact that the last 3 people who found this blog through Google were searching “underrated lil wayne songs”, “graphic girl face”, and “lookbook 10 year old” creeps me out and makes me feel there’s no better day to end this but today. I’ll still make a few occasional long text-intensive posts, but not often. Rarely. Probably never. Yeah.
Not gonna tell you my Tumblr name though, just because.
But thank you few regular readers, you’re probably the only reason I even updated this at all.
PS. I know most of your names, Statcounter tells me the name of your city and ISP when they show me who visits. Sup Carleton College, Hunter College, Ken, all my dus in Cali (11% of my visitors, there’s a lot of you), Ink Whisperer, all the NYC Safari 4.0 users, Cooper Union College, dus from Sufu who’ve read every post, and du at Yale with 15 visits (dunno who you are). Yeah, Statcounter is pretty detailed.
Later.

Sketchpad Workings
I spend a lot of time drawing at 2AM on random nights.
Drawing in this Muji sketchpad:
This is the outcome:
Mundane RSCs (Really Shitty Comics)
A failed artsy attempt.
Brushing an iPhone bezel – Guide here.
Did this a while back because I never really liked the shiny bezel on my iPhone. Used the hard side of a sponge to sand it. End result:
Cool beans.
Drawing
I’ve been drawing a little.
p.s. that was supposed to be the kool aid guy. not so successful with that.
New Balance Weartest Shoes
I weartest some shoes for NB and give them feedback on them. This is my third pair for them.
Last weartests:
NB 455 EX, they’ve released
Pf Flyers Boxcut Center, release early 2010 (not my photo)
Because my bookmarks list is too cluttered.
Things on my “to buy” list
To-do’s are one thing. To-get’s are another. These are things I want/ will eventually have.
1. 4Sevens Quark MiNi AA
To get my CREE XP-G flashlight on for EDC. I’ve always been wary with pre-ordering shit so I’ll be first in line to order on the 25th.
Not too crazy about the Preon UI on this but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
Specs:
Length: 3.0 inches
Diameter: 0.70 inches
Weight: 0.67 ounces (w/o battery)
Seven Output Modes:
Low: 2.7 OTF lumens, 60 hours
Medium: 25 OTF lumens, 18 hours
High: 90 OTF lumens, 1.3 hours
Special (hidden) modes:
Strobe 4 hours
SOS 12 hours
Beacon (Hi) 20 hours
Beacon (Lo) 100 hours
2. Benchmade Mini-Griptillian in D2 Steel (Cabela)
More EDC goodness. Because it’s so beautiful. Can’t really warrant spending that much on a blade though, so I’ll probably wind up getting a cheaper used Mini-Griptillian or something similar.
Cool review here (the Cabela’s D2 version starts at 10:07):
3. A new college.

In other news, my TOJ leather A-2 and New Balance weartest shoes should both be in my hands tomorrow. Picture frenzy in the next post most definitely.
