    Hi Dr. Racaniello, was listening to TWIV and saw your pen recommendation. It made me think of a pen website my friend told me about. Pen Island . Just don’t go to the “.com” site; it’s a totally different place.

    • Thanks for the link, Brian. Seems like a higher-end pen shop, compared with JetPens, but cool nonetheless.

      Wow, that’s a very unfortunate domain name. People really should think about what words will look like when they’re run together.

  2. A little late as I only listened to this episode this morning but I have pen that I expect the group will enjoy and find useful. Its called the Cross Tech 3. Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm, Black Ink and Red Ink. In my work I primarily use the pencil but I find the red ink very useful when revising. Amazon has them in multiple colors $30-40. For people that enjoy quality writing instruments. The new one even has stylus option for capacity screen such as an IPad 🙂 Though I’d share as an attempt to contribute to a great product.
