New Toy

Sally had a minor fender bender recently and we found that our camera was broken. So I ordered a Nikon Coolpix still camera and a Flip Minos video camera. My initial impression of the Flip is that I am gobsmacked. If the bottom of the line performs this well, I hate to think what the top of the line can do. And I have to wonder how long the mainstream media, with their large capital costs, will be able to compete.

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?
