    What the title says. I have a limited amount of space and this is for one of the smaller essays, but I was wondering how to explain pen modding.

    Taking apart some pens and putting them together in new ways to make spinning easier doesn't sound so good. To me, at least.

    Thanks.

    Mismatching pen parts to create a desirable design.

    True, but i want to explain that I SPIN the mods wink.gif

    Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. What would you want your freshman roommate to know about you? Tell us something about you that will help your roommate -- and us -- know you better.

    EDIT: the focus is not modding, i'm just kind of mentioning it in a few sentences.

    nateiskewl, I like it, alliteration is always a plus.

    Pen modding can be classified as pseudo engineering, where the goal is to create an instrument with optimum properties for spinning, by re-assembling parts of various writing instruments.

    Nice stuff K4S.

    Pen Modding is the process in which a pen is changed in any way, shape or form to enhance its visual image or its spinning capability.

    There's my definition.

    I still think "Pimp my Pen" is the best description period.

    I just have to add something in here, if you're going to use K4S' definition, then your whole essay should be of similar quality. You don't want the essay to fade in quality towards the end. Just putting it out there. tongue.gif

    I'm sure you already knew, though. thumb.gif
