Inflatable Pirates

Saw this last night on a disc of stuff one of my friends picked up at Siggraph. It's really cute and I totally thought xydexx would love it. :) the film is called 'Pfffirate' and is about an inflatable pirate on an inflatable ship facing the greatest terror the sprongy sea has ever known... A pointy metal parrot! O_O http://www.cgnetworks.com/cgfilms/cgfilm.php?story_id=2136

Harnesses

I don't suppose anyone knows much about harnesses, do they? Um. not that kind you dirty perverts. I mean the kind you use for rappelling. All of my data is very obselete and I don't know what brands are good. Any input appreciated. I did some searching online and am a little weirded that climbing gear is so cheap. I dunno if I could rappel thinking to myself. "I'm 200 feet above sharp pointy stalagmites and all that's holding me here is a $6.95 carabiner and $20 of rope. O_O

Pens

Rapidograph #4 is good practice for inking with a brush. The tip is broad and flat and to make a nice solid steady line with it, you must keep it perpendicular to the paper and move your arm instead of your wrist. Good exercise.
