Michael Angeles: Hipster PDA gear

The evolving configuration of my LowFi PDA | urlgreyhot

Michael’s Hipster PDA

Michael Angeles on his super-slim lofi setup and a very cool-sounding pen:

I now carry around the Fischer Space Pen I got for Christmas a few years ago, a Nick(it) wallet I got for free in the goody bag from MAD Museum’s Mad About Dance event, and a small stack of index cards.

Problem is that I often take the pen out and throw it in a bag or something so I find myself on a subway train with an idea, but nothing to write with. Tina pointed to the Inka Pen, which looks perfect.

If I attach it to my keys, I’ll never be without it. Sweetness.

Ooooo…Daddy like. Anybody else tried this Inka Pen? Looks like a very clever design. (See also: Gizmodo: The Inka Pen Lets You Write Underwater)

Inka pen not required.

Supplies Required:

  1. Fisher Space Pen Multi-Pen Refill (http://www.styluscentral.com/fisspacpenpr.html) or buy at your local Staples for 1.99.

  2. Pentel MiniRSVP Pen (http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/PENBK91MNBP5M.html) or buy at your local Staples for 4.99 for a 5pack.

Unscrew the bottom of the pen, and replace the guts with the Fisher refill. Close it up, and attach your new RSVPSpacePen with the included keyring to your keychain.

I keep one of these attached to my work ID lanyard along with some post-its stuck to the back of my badge. Works like a charm for quick notes.
