i love whiteboards

for some reason, i love whiteboards. ever since i saw i saw this kind of whiteboard in house, i kind of freaked out and fell in love. that isn't to say i didn't like them before that. there's just something so compelling about going up to a whiteboard and scribbling down this and that. well, actually, during math classes in high school, it was horrible because you would do the problem in front of the whole class and then you would step back and realize how atrocious your handwriting was in comparison to your classmates'. well, i suppose that's just me.

the area in front of a whiteboard is one of both quiet contemplation and frenzied activity. and seriously, how academic, how intriguing is someone who paces back and forth in front of a whiteboard, trying to solve the next problem? for sure, i'm romanticizing this way too much, but, eh, whateva.

for a college student, like me, having a whiteboard is an easy way to write down messages to your roommate, do practice problems, draw out biology diagrams that should be memorized, doodle, and just serve as a place to write down ideas and notes. it's an efficent, low tech answer to microsoft entourage and ical and all those other calender, todo applications.

well, if you took a gander at the link above, it is a clear whiteboard--basically a piece of glass on a stand. it's just so, what's the word, beautiful. and yes, whiteboards can be beautiful. so don't hate. but why are whiteboards so expensive!? especially for the nice ones! here's some that are close to 3K! and i don't have that kind of cash to spend, being a starving student and all.

so here, here, and here are some different ways to have a luxuriously large whiteboard for relatively cheap. check them out.
