[Pen/Pencil Review] The Leuchtturm 1917 Dots Notebook
Normally Monday is reserved for pens and pencils – but occasionally I stray into other forms of office supplies. The week of Thanksgiving I not only had the lovely surprise of the set from Pentel, but discovered I’d won a Leuchtturm 1917 from Steve Duncan at www.RecordingThoughts.com. So this week, a German made notebook I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Libretto Pen & Pencil Set
So yeah, about the time I posted last week’s review of the Pentel Kerry, I received an email from them offering to send me their Libretto Pen/Pencil set to review. They also gave me a set to give away. If you like what you see here with the review,go over to the contest and enter […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pentel Sharp Kerry 0.5mm
I could’ve sworn I’d done a review on this pencil before, but I can’t seem to find it. So I’m going to doing it again—or maybe for the first time. Jimmy bought me this a while back, because he’s a great enabler. This is Pentel’s Sharp Kerry 0.5mm capped automatic pencil. The Pentel Sharp Kerry […]
[Spotlight Post] Bond. James Bond.
So, this week I’m doing a slightly non-traditional spotlight post. We went to see Skyfall last night… and I have to talk about James Bond. I really do. Though if Alan J. Porter’s book had been done by now… ah, well, maybe next year. [asa]B009FBX5M0[/asa] James Bond has played a significant role in my life. […]
[Pen/Pencil Post] The Uni-ball Insight 0.7mm Black Ink
This week’s pen review – back to “real†pens. 😎 The Uni-ball Insight Fine Point 0.7mm black ink. I bought this pen in a multi-color pack of red, blue, and black at our Office Depot’s moving sale, I think. They are available at most office supply stores. And I don’t believe they were that expensive. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Glowing Skull Halloween Novelty Blue Ballpoint Pen
One last novelty pen for this Halloween season…yes, Book-A-Million was dangerous. This one is sillier. It lights up and has fiber optic “hair” – and it’s blue ballpoint pen. So I like the fact that this pen is also a “fine†point ball point – not more than 1.0mm. It’s not quite 8.5†long, which […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Sharpie Gel Highlighter
So, it’s pen blog time. Bear with me as it is also…Post Convention brain dead pen blog day. Fortunately, I photographed three things last week knowing I needed something to prompt me today. And since I’ve done two of my three Halloween novelty pens, and there’s still a week to go, I’m going to do […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Another Novelty Pen – A Koosh Hair Green Skull Ballpoint Pen with Blue Ink
This weekend was our ORAC meeting. This is a fangroup Jimmy and I belong to that FenCon gets its core group of staff. And they’re all around good people, so that’s the added bonus. Anyway, this month’s meeting was (sigh) 5 minutes from where I now work. On the way back, I needed to stop […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Baoer 79 Starwalker Replica Fine Point Fountain Pen
So, my “big†purchase at the Dallas Pen Show – besides renewing our subscription to Pen World was the Baoer 79 Starwalker Tribute pen. This is a replica of the Montblanc Starwalker, which I do want someday but totally can’t afford now. The Baoer is a decent replica. It’s not one of the lightweight, cheap […]
