"I doubted that any part of it was entirely arbitrary so I’ve redrawn it, but having each line only drawn in an obvious relation to something that already exists. What results is a pretty much perfect copy of the existing grid, so unless I was just lucky, I guess this is how they made their grid."http://www.ministryoftype.co.uk/words/article/constructing_the_grid/
Robert Edward Lee (1807-1870)
"So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained.General Robert E. Lee, May 1, 1870"

Photography, and the Tolerance for Courageous Sucking
"... being willing to put in your time, learn the craft, and never lose the courageousness to be caught in the middle of making something you care about, even when it might be shit and you might look like an idiot fumbling to make it.

Free Online Graph Paper / Guitar and Bass Fret/String Diagram
"The diagrams have variable height to width ratios. I have seen examples ranging from square to 3:1. The thing that determines the ratio in this generator is the number of rows and columns. e.g. On an 8.5 x 11 document, a 6 x 6 grid will give you slightly taller-than-wide diagrams. If you want them more square, decrease the number of columns or increase the number of rows (or both)."http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/fretboard/
