[Pen/Pencil Review] The SolidLine Detachable iPad Keyboard/Case
This week’s pen/pencil review isn’t exactly a writing instrument – though it’s a tool for writing. So it…sort of…applies. I’m reviewing the SolidLine Bluetooth keyboard for the full size iPad. First off, let me say that I really should pretty much defer to Jimmy’s recommendations when it comes to electronics. Most of the time he’s […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Another Repost – The Monteverde One Touch Ballpoint Pen
Sorry for another rerun… busy week ahead and behind. Trying to get something new in the bag for the next couple of weeks so we can get back on track. Until then…. Back in September of 2011, I hit up the Dallas Pen Show for a whopping two hours. I would’ve spent a lot more […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Year of the Dragon Sherpa Fountain Pen Insert
This is a quick and dirty pen blog – because it’s been that kind of Monday. It’s a follow up to the Sharpie Sherpa post – I did get the fountain pen insert from Paradise Pen Company. So I could use the Year of the Dragon Sherpa. I’m not as afraid of messing it up […]
[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] The BIC Fine Point 0.7mm Ball Point – Green Ink
Lou Antonelli is both a good person and a bad, bad enabler. He started me on the path of the Bic Biro Fine point ballpoint pens, and he’s actually completed the set for me. He got a shipment of the green fine points from Ireland (and no, the symbolism isn’t lost on me). And no, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Schneider Xtra Document 0.6mm Rollerball in Black Ink
My favorite, local Office Depot is moving to another spot in its shopping center. In anticipation of this, they’re having Moving Sales. Which means I can buy random stuff to review for cheaper than I would normally–and makes me almost as happy as Back-to-School sales. One of the pens I bought to test out that […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Rerun and An Apology – The Rotring Rapid Pro
I apologize for doing another rerun. It’s been a crazy/weird Monday. I’ve had some brain burps from being out of town this weekend for our 5th Wedding Anniversary – then I discovered a scheduling snafu that has me all discombobulated. AND there’s really unstable weather playing tetherball with my head… all that adds up to […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Platinum Preppy Fountain Pen — Rerun
Because I’m hitting conventions hard this month (SoonerCon is over, ApolloCon Looms), I’m going to rerun a couple of early pen reviews – yes, the ones from way before I came up with a system. Also… a challenge has been thrown by author, Lou Antonelli, to find The BIC BRIO fine point (orange/yellow) barrel GREEN […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The BIC Triumph 530RT
This week’s pen is the BIC Triumph 730 RT. I picked this up at Office Depot in the clearance bins. The package came in a 3 pack, either all black or black/red/blue. I chose the multi-color pack. BIC apparently believes in this pen, it’s been given its own webpage. The BIC Triumph 730 RT packaging […]
[Pen/Pencil Reveiw] Memorial Day Holiday Rerun – The Lamy Studio
I wrote this back in 2010 – before I knew really what I was dong with the reviews and really go them started. I meant to have this up quite a while ago, but I’ve had plugin issues today. Me and com Most people who know me, know me for two things: my love of […]
