While the question of which pencils to use for Nation Novel Writing Month is certainly an important one for pencil fans who are embarking on the one-month writing challenge.  But, perhaps almost as important, is the question of what to write on. (pencilrevolution)

If you are without a land line in your house, losing your phone can be a real pain, especially if you left it on silent. I Can’t Find My Phone is a genius website that will call you in the case of a tragic cell phone disappearance.” (incrediblethings)

That’s right: boxsets. Plastikman (otherwise known as Richie Hawtin to many) has been in the electronic music industry for decades now. Jumping from industrial to techno in one quick motion, the Plastikman legacy, which includes more than six studio albums, is being collected into one of the biggest (and slightly confusing) boxset collections we have seen. Four options exist for the collection: Reference, Digital, Analog, and Komplete. At the high end, you receive eery studio record remastered, including numerous CDs with exclusive and unreleased tracks as well as heavyweight 180g vinyl versions of the studio albums, and a DVD. As you scale down, discs and music are removed. The hardcore will want the Reference or Komplete. Oh, and he’s calling it Arkives.
