After work yesterday I bought myself two new pens. I had to hang around down town for a while, till the stores opened. Which kind of sucked since it was pretty nippy yesterday.
Anyways I ended up buying the Pilot Dr. Grip Gel pen, and the Pilot Hi-tecpoint V5 Grip (ink pen).

The Hi-Tec is working beautifuly, as is to be expected from this fine line of pens. The Dr Grip on the other hand is not working out. Which is kind of a shame since its a 15$ pen. The gel is nice and all, it produces some very nice solid lines, but its too thick. It's totally my blunder too because I was explicitly told in the pen review to get the Pilot P-500 Extra Fine or the P-700 Fine point. Those are both gel based pens but they have needle point tips, which are suppose to create very thin/clean/artist friendly/ lines.
The store I was at, unfortunately didn't carry them so I just went with the Dr Grip. I supose I'll endup hunting down a better pen store some time this weekend.

Now, many of you may be wondering why I posted this completely useless and pointless blog entry. The answer is because too many people were all "Hey, you haven't writtin anything new in a while. What's up with that?", well as of late, I've not had much to say, simple as that.

But if I must force myself to write something...

I just started reading "Peer to Peer: Harnessing The Power of Disruptive Technology", it's a nice book with contributions from something like 25 writers. Including Tim O'Reilly, Clay Shirky, Jon Udell, and a bunch of other people who I like to read.

Some of you might be thinking, "Does this mean he finished reading The Elegant Universe, and didn't post a review", well no, no it doesnt. I still have not finished that one. I'm sort of procrastinating and have put it aside for a while, partly because I'm good at procrastinating, and partly because the book is now in full swing with quantum theory, and everyone knows how much I love quantum mechanics. But I'll get back to it, I promise.
