    My current favorite/main pencil is the Alvin 0.3 drafting pencil. It's pretty solid for the price.

    I was given many older computers over the years or used a family computer. The first computer that was new when it was given to me was an Acer Aspire with Vista but the computer I truly consider mine is the desktop I built in 2009 and am still using. (Sadly this means I can't reference the good old days.)

    I've been going to the same place for years and they have a picture of me with the haircut I like and they recreate it each time I go (and I can easily say a bit longer or shorter than what is in the picture). Simple and effective.

    That's exactly what I do. I have a main gmail fed by 7 other addresses and set up to send mail through each of the different servers. Gmail also has a nice option that the correct email auto-selects when replying.

    That's where I consume most of my sugar as well. Dark tea and coffee with a few good spoonfuls. Mmmm. Without it tea tastes like slightly bitter water to me and coffee is bearable, especially if I put milk in it (If I have sugar though, I don't).

    That's one of the reasons I signed up for a ResearchGate account. Some of my favorite professors use it and I can read their research.

    Office hours are amazing, it also helps you to connect more with all of your professors. I'm on a first name basis with all of the professors in my department. Getting to know them also helped me to get a research position with one of them over this past summer. Last year I also took an economics class just for fun…

    I can second that, then again I don't use all the features but it does everything I need.

    Does anyone know if it's safe for me to run the normal update to 4.3 on my rooted Nexus 7? I've been holding off because I don't want to mess up anything.

    Not to mention that in most colleges you can get free or at least discounted copies of MS Office, Windows 7/8 and more (obviously you're paying to attend though). Mine offers free Mathematica, Solidworks, and MatLab (while enrolled, afterwards your license expires).

    That's the big ticket item on my list too. I'm picking up a bunch of smaller games that I've wanted as well. :)

    That's odd, I changed to title only and feedly remembers it for me.

    CMOS batteries are a pain, especially on older laptops. I just replaced one for a friend recently and I had to remove the screen and keyboard among other things in order to get to it under the top cover. Of course, it was also soldered so I had to remove that and solder the new one. It wasn't so difficult as it was…

    I'm on board with both of you! I carry it everyday. Just finished my vote post for it. ^_^

    VOTE: Leatherman Skeletool: At the very least for me this is a perfect balance between weight, too many tools, and too few tools. I have much larger multitools with many features and lots of mini/keychain ones but this is my daily carry. I can clip it in my pocket and I use it multiple times every day. When I go…

    It is just a plain natural wood case that I believe I bought in Germany a few years ago. I don't remember where exactly since there are no labels but something like this: http://www.pennstateind.com/store/PKBOXLRB… seems relatively similar. I hope that helps. :)
