Tempted by the fruit of another OR: Help me not forsake my hPDA!

OK, I folded and installed Tracks. I just wanted to play with it, and now I find myself contemplating inputting my projects and NA's into Tracks. I thought about trying to find a way to use Tracks to print to 3X5, but this is just getting insane. Someone, please tell me I have to stick with what is working!!

Nakaya fountain pens

Hey flex, here's my next pen. With a flexible fine nib, of course. (Maybe a flex medium, since the Japanese nibs run so fine.)

I'll only have to save for three months or so to pay for it! http://www.nakaya.org/aka_arai.jpg


I have one of those in the "kikyo" (blue) color -- mine is the long model, but I'm a pretty big guy. And yes, I got the flexible fine nib for it. I enjoy my Nakaya a lot, and I'm sure you will too.

I've been thinking about getting another one (probably one of their smaller, less expensive models) with the new "elastic" nib... though I'm also thinking about the medium point. http://www.nakaya.org/epen.html#eelastic2tone

You'll find that Japanese nibs (maybe Asian nibs in general) tend to run finer than American or European nibs. But we're threadjacking... :)

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. »
