Gadgets…hmmm…They mean more to me than words could ever say. We make ‘em, we brake ‘em. Anyway, who cares about it? It’s time to start your journey on the road to different kinds of pens collected all over the world.
From many people’s point of view, the pen has reached the end of its evolution. After ballpoint prices fell to the point where you could stuff a pillow with ‘em for twenty bucks, the mass market needed nothing more.
Most modern pin pen collectors are into fountain pens, possibly because there just doesn’t seem to be much happening at the cutting edge of pen technology any more.
There are, however, people who’re enthusiastic about other areas of ink delivery technology, like for instance the various idiosyncratic products that come out of Japan. You can buy esoteric stationery from all over the world online; JetPens is a popular store for people hunting odd Japanese products like the hyper-minuscule 0.18mm Signo Bit and white-ink gel pens, which I had to buy just to see what they were like (superfine pens work surprisingly well as long as your paper is smooth; white gel ink much appreciated by artistic sister).
Here is another weird ball-point pen collection, Uri Geller Psycic pen, Howling dinosaur pen, Shaky Manikin Piss pen, Pocky pen, Shaver pen, English pen, Bunborger.
The basic Bic ballpoint is not, of course, the only cheap pen option these days. But there are plenty of more peculiar products out there.
New ioTag feature lets you take direct action on your notes - synchronize emails, appointments and tasks directly from paper. Go directly from ink to the software you use most often. Eliminate re-keying and slash your paperwork time. Back up and quickly retrieve handwritten documents on your PC. It’s all possible with the Logitech io2 Digital Writing System.
Various squishy grips and contoured sleeves and other gadgets aim to make it easier for humans to write with stick shaped things, but modern ink cartridges are small enough that a pen doesn’t actually have to be that shape at all.
So the PenAgain isn’t.
If you’re all boring and just want to write stuff, though, the PenAgain’s great.
Snick-click
At last, a fiddle-toy.
At first glance, it just looks like a plain old pen. But if you look carefully, it’s two .308 bullet casings placed end-to-end.
P.S. Grab ahold!
