Time to do my part of the sharing
It’s time to do my part of the stuff that Genne talks about. About sharing knowledge and information. I kinda’ have the idea that I must post something at least every week. Previous I posted about every month or so.
First thing I like to share, is the pen and paper I’m using write now. What?! you might think, pen and paper in our fine and digital world. PAD – Paper Aided Design should not be forgotten. Incredibly fast and easy to use in collaborative settings. And I use it for noting when I’m on the phone. Also, for me, what I write, and what I write on i important, and writing and sketching can be an aesthetic experience.
So, I went down to the local bookstore (last time they gave me a student rebate stamp card sort of thing. C’mon! I look more professional than that!?). And I bought four pens, and I previously got notebook. I prefer gel pens, and most of those that I encounter comes from Pilot. I now have 5 pilot pens and 3 or so uses gel.
The notebook is a little special. It’s a A3 notebook from Whitelines which have white lines on gray paper. Sounds unnecessary and expensive, and sure, you probably pay more than it costs. Still I find the notebook real nice, and I like the gray paper.
So, I can recommend the notebook from Whitelines, and I also recommend the Pilot G-Telematic 0.7mm gel pen. Just watch out for pen thiefs!

I’ve been waiting for a post here, nice to finally have something to read! Like the thoughts on the PAD thing, I believe you’re right. But in todays digitalized world you don’t have room for physical papers. Everything should be in the computer! Is the solution perhaps to get a bigger desk? :)
Btw, what are gel pens? I must get one!
Keep up with the blogging, I’m expecting to read more from you soon!
