Hipster Heaven with Lamy

I picked up some new instruments today. I had just left an eye appointment and my office supply shop is RIGHT THERE so I had to go in and take a look. I have been wanting a real live grown-up mechanical pencil (my Rotring had just exploded into 8 different pieces) again and had to see what they had.

Lamy Pico and Lamy Scribble

So I got a pen too.

I tried several -- the Pico is a great Anti-Spacepen. I think it feels a lot better in my hand than the FSP.

The Scribble is just a very nice mechanical pencil that isn't /too nice/. I found out you can easily spend hundreds on mechanical pencils if you want to. The Scribble has a nice design, and was a great fit for my small girlish hands.

As you can see I like matte black.

The pico is a bit bigger than the FSP, but doesn't have a cap that can fall off or get lost.

Man, those are slick. I RARELY ever need a pencil, but I really like the scribble.

I may have to search these out too...damn you emory with all of your wonderful toys!!

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. »
