paper weight?

My only real problem with my Moleskine is that certain pens will show through--not technically bleed through, but definitely show. My experience has been that Sharpies will actually bleed through to the opposite side.

So my question is this: what weight grade does paper have to be in order for this problem to be solved?

Pilot G-2's work well, so do Pilot p-500's. My favorite by far though is my stainless steel Parker Jotter.

Noodlers ink and Parker Quink have both bled through on me (using a Cross ATX and a Hero cheapy).

Surprisingly I get very little bleed through on my cheap grid composition book I use (sorry, can't find the paperweight). I think its just a process of trial and error.

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. »
