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)

After reading about the clip...

After reading about the clip problems with the Fisher Bullet Pen, I did some web searching and found out about the INKA. It looks perfect for a HPDA. I can attach the ring to my binder clip and always have my pen in my pocket.

The only drawback is that it seems to come only with medium point refills. I’d prefer fine or extra fine.

Has anyone used an INKA? How does it work IRL?
