These are the pens I prefer to use when writing. Must be medium point. I prefer black. But they obviously come in many colors. Office Depot shipped me a package of extra fine, but it just isn't the same. I may order from dickblick next time. They seem to have 'em, and I love 'em. They write like a fountain pen, but without the hassle and mess. A good, solid, portable pen.

Liquid Flair Felt Tip Pen, Medium Tip, Translucent Barrel, Blue Ink PAP21003

First to recommend

Description

Apparently these are exactly the same as the "liquid expresso" pens that I've already mentioned, but by another name. Why are there two names for the same item? I have no idea. But it's been a nightmare trying to get the expresso version in my hot little hands, so maybe it will be easier to retrieve the "liquid flair" version. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Chris Coffee Service Anita by Quickmill

First to recommend

Description

For the price, this simply makes the best cup of espresso you can get at home. It has a double boiler, so you can steam and pour at once. It's pretty on your counter (chrome!)... and it's powerful to boot. I've made as many as 7 cups of espresso in a row without losing quality, temperature, or pressure. I can make quality latte art, and I don't mind drinking an extra cup a day, because even though the machine costs more than a haypenny, I still save money making my own.

Furthermore, I work at home sometimes, and having a machine at home is like having my own espresso bar.

It can be a little noisy when the pump is running to fill up the boiler, but it usually doesn't last long since the pump is pretty darn quick. If you're ready to move up from an okay espresso machine to a semi-pro quality machine, I can't say enough about the Anita. We call ours (of course) "Anita," and talk about her as if she's a person. Because we love her. As will you.

All Work and No Play Journal

First to recommend

Description

There may be no better statement for the writer (psychotic or not) than "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" typed over and over in a zigzag pattern, just like the Jack Nicholson character in The Shining.

Here's Johnny!

Publishers Lunch

First to recommend

Description

If you're a writer, and you're at all interested in the business of publishing, then you ought to sign yourself up for Publishers Lunch, which is a short list of news and happenings in the publishing "biz". Once you figure out if the price of "free" is worth it, then you can decide if the price of twenty bucks a month is worth it to sign up for Publisher's Marketplace, which is an online gathering of publishing pros and not-so-pros... I've opted out of the Marketplace for a few years because it didn't seem to be doing anything for me but make me crazy that I wasn't selling as many books as Aunt Matilda, and my blog was less popular than pictures of ugly dogs... but I do still get the Lunch. And frankly, you can't beat the price.

DLO Jam Jacket with Cord Management and Surface Shields for iPod touch (Black)

2 people recommended this item

Description

Bless them for including ear bud management, because it is the ear buds that are always missing from our ears, and also always missing from out touch, and also, well, just not available when we need to listen, so we end up using some crappy headphones from our son's old CD player. Damn. That hardly rocks at all. But this Jam Jacket? It rocks hard core.

Dude.

Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB External Hard Drive

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

My first hard drive was 100 megabytes. And though that still makes me a little dizzy that I was able to fill that puppy up, it doesn't prevent me from saying, "Oh, I can get a Terabyte for under $200? Sweet."

Now then. How much for a Petabyte? I have some mutating DNA strands I need to store for future reference. Also, the entire internet. And the molecular structure of an Oreo cookie.

Bring it on.

Oscar Schmidt OU2 Ukulele

First to recommend

Description

This is my axe. I love my axe. My son wants me to play Twisted Sister on the Ukulele, but I have enough trouble playing SpongeBob. But I still love it. To play. Also, mine is a slightly different color than this, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't affect the sound quality.

Does it?

Okay then. Enjoy.
