Welcome to the Freethought Forum
|
The lofty high Renaissance and marked mannerism. The heavy and ornate Baroque era, followed by the gentle Rococo. Harsh neo-classicism, rich romanticism, lush naturalism, stern realism, blurred impressionism. Heady surrealism, blockish cubism, postwar Dada, pointy-cornered art deco and cookie cutter Bauhaus. Let us skip the dreariness of the past half century and arrive finally at FF Style.

I love gadgets. Not just electronic gizmos, but a fan of EDC (every day carry) and pocket tools.
While at work, I felt a bit awkward carrying larger pocket tools, but since I started working from home (and consequently being laid off because I was the only remote worker in the group), I started wearing a sheath with a Leatherman in it.
So that means, on any day, I have on me:
- an iPhone.
- a watch.
- a fitbit Flex.
- a Gerber Curve on my keychain.
- a Gerber Dime in my watch pocket
- a Leatherman sheath with,
- a Leatherman Juice S2
- a bit driver kit for the Juice.
- a Pocketwrench II
Sometimes, I have on or near about me
- a Nexus 7 Android tablet
- a small bound notebook.
- a mechanical pencil (usually an Alvin Draft Matic 0.9 mm)
- a decent pen (usually, it's the last pen I purchased at Disney, but I just lost it)
- a pocket organizer (used a lot when I was commuting to work) to manage cables, pens and sundries.
Yes, in general, I have 2 or more pocketknives on me at all times. Each one serves a slightly different purpose.
The Gerber Dime has been a really good "quick fix" tool. It works well enough for most simple uses like unscrewing a battery compartment or opening a beer. Plus it has this innovative tool for opening packages, and it fits in my pants watch pocket.
The Gerber Curve has locking tools, which is really the only reason I keep it on hand.
The Leatherman Juice S2 is the best small multitool I have ever owned. It's just big enough to do basic jobs, but small enough it fits into a pocket reasonably well. It's biggest missing feature: no locking blade.
The sheath is so I can carry the bit driver and the Pocketwrench II with it. The Pocketwrench II is an interesting thing. It's a 3.5 inch bar of stainless steel with a universal wrench at one end, a... [Read More]

2016 Presidential Race |

In my old age, I have found that no matter how emotional I get, no matter how much I yell at my computer or TV screen, no matter how much I wish for things, I cannot in any way, shape, or form control the presidential elections process. I can cast my vote and that's it. So, I have decided to watch things and laugh, rather than cry and get all stressed out.
I am highly amused at the bajillion Republicans who are facing off against each other. I am also amused that it seems like the Dems are just going to run Hillary and that's that...I haven't heard of anyone else seriously considering it, have you?
So this made me laugh today: Desperate Republicans Are Trying To Recruit Elizabeth Warren To Run Against Hillary Clinton

Things are quickly spiraling out of control for the Republicans as they head into 2016. Currently, there are no less than eighteen Republicans who could be presidential candidates. The establishment was ready to rally around Chris Christie until Bridgegate happened. Jeb Bush is a candidate who isn’t generating much enthusiasm outside of the donor class, and the resurfacing of Mitt Romney has added chaos to the entire process. It is looking more like the Republicans will go through a bloody fight to pick their nominee.
