Duuuuuude.

So, if you've ever watched me write with a pencil, I rotate the pencil a quarter turn after every word - this is a throwback to drafting class where we learned that kept lines consistent, otherwise you wear down one side of the lead and lines get wider. This pencil does it automatically, every time you lift the pencil, so every letter, it rotates a tiny bit so you're always using the sharp point of the lead. #kurutoga
