[Pen/Pencil Review] The Uni Power Tank Smart Series Ballpoint Pen – 0.7mm
There’s one thing a writer needs to be able to do – write. Any time. Anywhere. At any angle. In any condition. Seriously. For quite a while, if you wanted to do that, your option was the Fisher Space Pen (which is awesome). Now other manufacturers like UNI are releasing economical and convenient pressurized pens […]
[Pen/Pencil Blog] Pentel Color Shades Writing Pack – Green
A few weeks ago I wrote that I have a problem. Back-to-School displays are my weakness. On the trip to Walgreens that gained me the fine point BICs (still don’t have “traditional†colors) X-tra Precise. I also found the Pentel Color Shades Writing Pack – in Green. And even though I’ve pretty much reviewed all […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Day Job Takes Precedence This Week
I was going to do my best to do a blog post today… It’s not going to happen. This is my Day Job Life right now – through early Wednesday, at least. And there’s a bunch of family descending on my house tonight for dinner. Bear with me. Even though I have the tons and […]

Okay, so I’m just going to go ahead and do my second Faber-Castell review from the Dallas Pen Show and just get it out of my system. Why? It’s something I never knew I needed, wanted, or would be one of those things that make me go “DUDE!” I’m talking about the Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil. […]

This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Study – in a 0.5mm point and black gel ink – because they’re good like that. I picked this one up on a JetPens after Christmas shopping order. The Sarasa Study has a nice, dark black […]
[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. It’s the PaperMate Clear Point Customizable Mechanical pencil in 0.7mm lead. There won’t be a writing sample – because well, mechanical pencil. 0.7mm #2 HB Lead […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Palamino Blackwing Geek Moment
This is pretty much a “rerun” post because I left anything I might need to review at home. Hello, Monday, good to see you. However, there’s a “new” twist to this rerun. I had a nice little social media/blog shout out from the good folk at Palamino Blackwing because I’m rapidly becoming “That Pen/Pencil Geek”. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Zebra SK-Sharbo+1 2 Color Eco Multi-Function Pen
Today’s pen blog is a multi-function pen. I don’t do these often, but this one caught my eye. It’s the Zebra SK Sharbo Eco +1 2 Color Multi-Pen. It’s a mouthful from JetPens. This is one of the Japanese offerings, not necessarily found in the US, except through online portals like JetPens. The “eco” part […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel Jolt 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil
Okay, okay, okay, it’s not a green or red pen… it’s a pencil with green in the barrel. It’s what I had in my stash that fits the December theme. This is the Pentel Jolt 0.7mm mechanical pencil. This was sent to me quite a while ago in the giant box of awesomeness. There won’t […]
