However, due to my advanced #PIM processes, I rarely write things down on #paper.
I'd love to do so much more if there would be a great #FOSS solution for offline #handwriting#OCR. That would be a great investment by the #stationery industry! 🤔
It still offers better solutions compared to my #Boox#NoteAir#eink tablet.
A friend is graduating, and I've asked one of our mutual friends if she wants to go in for a fountain pen for him. There are some fun/colorful ones at a local coffee shop that would suit his style.
Thought it may be that I am more excited about picking out a fountain pen than he would be receiving it.
I did it! For the first time I have finished a ballpoint pen. It took ten months of occasional writing and almost 100 A5 pages written (both sides). Now I'm deciding to switch to pencils or use some other pens. #stationery#bic#ballpoint
Today’s #fountainpen is this purple Opus 88 Omar with a semi-flex nib from fpnibs.com (observe the slit going all the way down). Inked with Noodler’s Black Swan In Australian Roses.
Today’s fountain pen is the Jinhao 9019. I would call it an upgrade to the X159. A bit bigger and better plastic, huge (think TWSBI Swipe) screw in converter that is still standard international compatible, still the same great no. 8 nib. Oh, and fun colors!
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of moderate means and questionable taste
I've been around for a long, long year
I've seen too much and I've lost faith
Apologies to the Rolling Stones but I've updated it for the general malaise that is #GenX life in the early 21st century. General #introduction post here as I've just migrated from mastodon.social. I'm the homebody type who's very content to just curl up with a good #book. I enjoy #movies and most types of #music. Love good #food but I have a lifelong hatred of olives. I'm mostly here to meet fun, funny people and have a good time while taking the serious stuff in small doses for the preservation of whatever sanity I have left. I imagine I'll update this as more things occur to me to add. Below are some more specific interest. Glad to be here and beige bless!
My favourite notepad is super hard to find.. It seems like most stores don't have it any more and I think #rhodia might have stopped making it. Who can recommend me an A5 dotted spiralbound (to the left) notepad/notebook?
Today’s fountain pen is another Jinhao 82. This time with a fude nib. No. 5 fude nibs are great because they’re small enough that you can still write (almost) normally with them. That is, if you enjoy writing really big. 😬
Has anyone found cute/pretty stationery that is fountain pen friendly? I write a lot of letters and I’m tired of tearing pages out of my Tomeo River journals. The nice stationery sets I have are not good for fountain pens. #FountainPen#LetterWriting#Stationery
