Political Spectrum Quiz


My political views continue to be more rational than those of my fellow citizens. :) My trek towards libertarianism is due to the past three administrations (ie If the clowns are running the circus, then the ringmasters whip had best be made of licorice and his gun had better shoot blanks).

More Pen Nerdiness

Below is a comparison of two pens. The Pigma Micron that I had been using and my shiny new Waterford Marquis. It's moderately unfair as the Micron puts down a very fine line and the Waterford is a medium nib. But when I use a medium point on ballpoints or felt tips I'm utterly illegible.

My Total Nerdiness

I know almost no one will be interested in this, but I bought myself a new toy today. Yes, rollerballs, gels and ballpoints are tidier. But ever since I was a boy, I've been fascinated by fountain pens. The store that sells them is almost as dangerous as a bakery or an art supply emporium.

Also, very little can surpass the feel and smell of a fountain pen on good quality paper.

Addendum: Isn't the Internet grand?
