Not a bad one, some better articles out there but that is pretty no nonsense.

Thats cool. I have always just used a box with printer paper, never thought about filtering the light threw the paper though.

haha 12 architectural models for school.. sorry haha

i spent a good 3 solid weeks building 12" x 12" x 12" cubes that were to be stuck in a light box and designed to modify light. One i did with metal i had to walk 30 min to a scrapyard to find, and another dealt with toilet paper. Just crazy Sh*t that no one really deserves to go through.

sorry i was just venting Smile

Indeed, I love getting 4 hours of sleep a night because I want to have 2 hours to myself a day.

Daap sucks my life away.

Thank god for co-op.

You know where you are headed yet Ryan (or is it next year for you?)

I recommend summer winter.

After 4 co-ops I can safely say it is the correct choice.

Escape the crappiest times for Cincinnati weather.
