Seems like a great book, if only they would sell it to me

I want to buy this book. But I don’t want it on thin slices of tree, I want it digital.

But I can’t, because it’s only available for iBooks, Nook or Kindle. Note that I have a MacBook, but you can’t read an ebook on a MacBook, you have to read it on an iOS device (ipad, iphone or ipod touch). 

And they wonder why people download stuff.

Sartorialdiy: Let's give leather a go: squarish bag -

sartorialdiy:

I counted them. All the others either never put something worthwhile on Facebook, or I have better ways to stay in touch with them (admittedly, not my forte)

I would include the list, but I don’t want to hurt the others

Shoe last alpha version, feedback wanted -

Feedback wanted!

sartorialdiy:

Know anything about shoe lasts? About shoes maybe? Cool, because I need your feedback on this. I’m designing shoe lasts to make my own shoes, and these are what they look like in Blender.

If you see any glaring errors, please let me know. If not, I need somebody who can CNC mill these for me…

OMG I can’t believe I got this email. Here’s what it says:
Good morning,Good news!Your sewing machine is ready,It took much longer than we anticipated, our apologiesbut you can finally come and pick up the machine.In the end, 3 boards have been replaced,the price is 110 euros.
I got this sewing machine almost 9 months ago, and it never worked because it’s a US model. I brought it to the shop and they told me they could just replace some parts to turn it into a EU model.
Turns out that it took more than 8 months to get the spare parts, and now it’s finally ready :) 
Oh man I’m so happy.

Does this mean I’ll be single soon? I’m not so good with subtle hints, you know, being male and all that.
