Deluxe, with Tungsten

I got to order office supplies for today. I wasn’t happy with the ink flow of the Pilot Precise V5 Rolling Ball pens that I was using, so I’ve put in an order for some Sanford Uni-Ball Deluxe Rollerballs. They feature:

• Reservoir feeding system ensures a smooth flow. The innovative cotton reservoir releases the right amount of ink with every stroke for skip-free, mess-free writing.
• Fine point writing for clear, precise lines. Get as exacting as you like with a variety of fine point sizes to choose from. Ideal for precise, legible journal entries.
• Stainless steel tip is built to last. Uni-Ball’s super-durable tip contains a hard tungsten carbide ball for perfect ink laydown every time!
• Waterproof ink…for the long haul. Liquid ink is permanent and quick-drying to reduce smudges. Waterproof, fadeproof formula is safe for checks and valuable legal documents.
• Nonrefillable.

Being a lefty I do sometimes have trouble finding pens that work well for me. Actually it probably has more to do with my writing angle or speed, but I’ve found the Sanford Uni-Balls to work well.

Mighty

I am possibly moments away from impule-buying Apple’s new Mighty Mouse. Sure, I’m a sucker for their Reality Distortion Field, but at the moment I have no trouble convincing myself that my current input device needs aren’t currently being met, and that this device will certainly bring me closer to enlighenment. Two concerns: I’ve grown used to back/forward mouse buttons, but the two side buttons on this one seem to be the same button. Secondly, I’m wondering why there’s no Bluetooth option. Maybe they just can’t get it to track well enough to be acceptable for discerning tastes?

Wow! A new mouse from Apple! I can’t stop using exclamation points!
