2500 post Giveaway

KBA, if you have any interest in physics but lack the math definitely pick up that book. In my opinion, nobody else has come close to Greene in explaining physics without any need for math beyond a high school level. I don't buy into the string theory that the book is advocating, but that really only takes up 15% or so of the book. The other 85% is mostly relativity and quantum mechanics, as these two mutually exclusive theories are what string theory attempts to unite. After reading The Elegant Universe I have been able to explain these two theories to just about anybody by stealing Greene's explanations and examples.
 
That book "The Dharma Bums" looks very interesting. It seems right up my alley. I think I will have to check it out. I picked up Walden 2 the other day and just can't seem to pick it back up. I primarily blame it on blade forums, actually I blame quite a bit of stuff on this site.(too many knives, too little money, getting to sleep later and later, etc...) I think I liked it better when I was just a young simple minded knife lover who thought his buck 110 and Kershaw leek were about as good as it got, but I don't think I'll ever be able to return to that lifestyle again.
 
Bump!
gonna do a random generator thing either later today or tomorrow, will be mailing out come tuesday...

so if your interested, get in now why you can :D
 
Great thread and great GAW - very much enjoying getting to know traditional forum members through their pictures and stories. OH

Congrats on the 2500!

It's great to be able to put a face to a name. Great idea.

So here it goes! This book, and and actually Kerouac as an author, helped me a a younger man find my path in life. To appreciate every moment and find out what is truly important to me. Dharma Bums in particular struck a chord with me. As for the knives my favorite being the tinker. I threw the schrade in there because it was in my pocket. :)


And this is the ugly mug.

This was right after my youngest was born. You can actually see the exhaustion in my face.

My first pseudo-traditional folder: the Spyderco Endura 4 in Jigged Bone & Titanium w/ Suminagashi Damascus design.
(I'm a sucker for Damascus!)




This book has really inspired me to pursue a personal quest of everlastingly enlightening myself with knowledge.
Da Vinci would be my role-model to this day; the man just likes to master whatever comes his way!

Ok, last call. I reworked my way through this thread, after sorting through all the "I'm ins" and the "Not and entries" i got 22 folks and made a list ...so i gotta cut up a bunch of paper and label them 1-22 (or higher if anyone else wants in at the last minute) and put in my hat and draw a lucky number...

so get in now if your interested.

This was a great GAW. It kind of hijacked itself. We need a personal pic thread which identifies itself in the title.
 
Ok, its officially over.

what i did was create a list labeled 1-22



then i tore off a bunch of pieces of paper and wrote 1-22 on them



and put them in my hat



and i shook them up and blindly reached for one and drew....
