This is the introduction to a video series on how to write like an architect. This is another way to modify your writing. While its not longhand, it may be a good solution for someone looking for something geometric and would be great for addressing envelopes.I used to watch the architecture students practicing this technique when I was in school. As your skills improve, you will not need the straight edge for notes or daily writing but may still want to use the straight edge for more formal situations.(by howtoarchitect)

I don’t know if you noticed the left-handed writer in the logo for The Well-Appointed Desk but as a left-hander with a notable “hook”, I love seeing Obama signing documents with a similar flair. Its sad to hear people giving him a hard time about it.  Obama, like myself, probably grew up being taught to place the paper at a right-leaning angle and its a hard habit to break.
