What Pen With Levenger International Pocket Briefcase?

What pen do you use with your Levenger International Pocket Briefcase?

I find that most pens are too tall and stick out above the LIPB or are too fat and don't fit in the pen sleeve.

Right now, I'm using a Sanford Uniball Vision but I'm looking for better suggestions.

I found a nice pen...

I found a nice pen in an art store that fits perfectly--it's Japanese and is called the Pigma Micron (I have the 02 size, which is .3 mm.--they make different widths). Great fine line, lots of available colors (although imo black looks best with such a fine line) and archival ink.

It's short and not terribly fat, just the right size to fit in the pen sleeve. I had originally bought a tiny Speeno fountain pen for the purpose, but it has a screw cap and it was too fiddly for quick notes.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
