Have you used this pen?

Uncommon Goods' Wallet Pen

It's so tiny, I know it wouldn't be comfortable for writing for any length of time, but I was thinking of getting one for my husband to carry in his wallet. Just wondering if anyone here has ever used it and can tell me if it's any good...

Everyone says that about pens...

Everyone says that about pens that cost more than Bics, but most people find that they're a lot less likely to lose a pen that is distinctive and that costs more than a quarter.

Looks like a nifty little thing, but alas, I have not tried it so cannot help.

I've long found this to be true; I'll also add that if I only have access to one pen (or at least one of each type -- a fountain pen and a sharpie are used so differently that it's not an issue), I'll keep it in my sights, but if I have a whole mugful of them, I treat them as something disposable.

(That said, I can't use undersized pens without hideous hand cramps, so I can't say anything about the one in question.)

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. »
