[Pen/Pencil Review] Monteverde Telescopic Ballpoint Pen With Stylus
Jimmy and I were taking advantage of a sale at Fry’s Electronics last week when we saw this week’s pen (in a two-pack) in their Office Supply Section. This week’s pen is part of Monteverde 365 Everyday Collection. It’s the S-102 Telescopic Ballpoint pen with stylus – also part of the One Touch Stylus line. […]
[Spotlight Post] Aodan Coyne’s “If We Only Knew” Crosspost
This is a crosspost from Celtic Music Magazine. This one is an lovely Irishman, Aodan Coyne. Coyne plays with Socks in the Frying Pan but is debuting his first solo album.

[Pen/Pencil Review] BIC Intensity Permanent Porous Point 0.5mm
This is one of the last finds on the last Office Depot run. These are the BIC Intensity permanent pens – fiber tipped in a 0.5mm fine point. These came in a five-pen multi-pack – two black, blue, green, and red. The BIC Intensity permanent pens are kind of cool. They’re long – 5.5″ capped […]
[Spotlight Post] Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
This is a crosspost from Celtic Music Magazine. This one is an Austin based Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.

[Pen/Pencil Review] PaperMate ClearPoint Customizable 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil
I picked this interesting mechanical pencil at Office Depot on that binge shopping trip. It intrigued me – and I totally got it wrong, but it’s still kinda cool.

[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Dr. Grip Full Black 1.0mm
So, thanks to the amazing way Office Depot took care of me during the print job fiasco, I ended up being able to go on a pen buying mini-spree last week before heading out of town (there was also a coupon about to expire). This is but one of them, the Pilot Dr. Grip Full […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Write Dudes Gorilla Lead 0.7mmm Mechanical Pencil
I didn’t pick up any fun pens at ArmadilloCon this, but I did get to spend time with Mark Finn and Rick Klaw – so in the honor of The Apes of Wrath (and a pretty lame reach for a connection) – I’m reviewing the Write Dudes Gorilla Lead Mechanical Pencils from Target. There won’t […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Nock Co Hightower Pen Case
I’m in a place where I need to find out what I’ve reviewed in the past and what I might still have left. My current “new” stuff has been done, for the most part. I do have one more Nock Co. pen holder to introduce you to, and that’s The Hightower. The Hightower is more […]
