Hello, fountain pen peeps. For those of you who have a Diplomat Aero, how do you find the grip? I tried one and felt it was too slippery and had to exchange it for a different pen. I really like the look of it, especially the flame version, but the metal grip didn't work for my small hands. ☹️ I'm also interested in the Elox Matrix Green (is it discontinued?), but it looks like it has the same metal grip. #FountainPens #Diplomat

The YT app on Apple TV is really testing my patience. Besides the super annoying pause screen that kicks in now, and the screensaver, it resets your place in a list every time (e.g. going through your watch later list, or videos from all your subscriptions). If you play a video, it always resets to the top of the list when you back out to the list. I hate this behavior in any app. 😡 #UX #UI #annoyance #gripe #AppleTV

Now I’m even more bummed about not going to the Chicago Pen Show! 😆

For #InkSwatchWednesday, a non-comparison of inks to Diamine Celadon Cat 😅

I use the timer on my Apple Watch a lot. I find it frustrating that instead of pressing on the big “done” in the middle of the screen to stop the timer after going off, I have to target the small x button in the lower left corner, which because it is very near the rounded edges of the Watch’s screen, is even harder to target. 😒 (I just now saw the Done label isn’t even centered in the circle :smh:)

Hello, fountain pen peoples: any recommendations on how to clean out a moldy fountain pen? Perhaps I’m not searching well enough, but I haven’t found a definitive answer or instructions. I saw a few mentions about using a bleach solution to clean, but no measurements on bleach to water ratio. Supposedly this bleach solution could be used to clean fountain pen parts like the cap also, but I’m not sure if it’s really okay. #FountainPens #cleaning #mold #yuck

Today's pictures show a fountain pen catastrophe: mold! 🤢 Don't click through if you don't want to see moldy ink and a contaminated fountain pen feed.

It took a while to put together, but here's my post for #InkSwatchWednesday, coinciding with the 1st of the month, the typical time to update my batch of currently inked pens.

YouTube has this new screensaver mode that dropped today for me where it shows a thumbnail of some theme like, “Acrylic Pouring Techniques” or “New York City Drone” and UI encouraging you to “press up to play”. It’s slightly annoying because it now overrides the art screensaver that I set up as my default Apple TV screensaver.

Pressing up plays a video associated with the listed theme. I wonder how much the video creators got paid for this? 🤔 #YouTube #weird #screensaver

I almost forgot about #InkSwatchWednesday again. This time I'm highlighting Sailor Yurameku Date Gokoro because I recently inked a pen with it and had a breakthrough.

Robert Oster, like Diamine, have so many inks that a lot of them seem the same, but renamed. I watched this Yoseka Stationery video showing off a ton of ink swatches and there were many times I thought, “didn’t I just see this ink?” 🤔

Ooh! What opportune timing (see my previous posts about the disadvantage of blogs, RSS and having the audience interact or provide feedback). 👍👏

Hi, All. I have a blog that I've moved to the Ghost platform, and would love to see it grow there. I mainly post a picture a day, either one I took on the day, or a picture from my archives that I decide to post. I also talk about fountain pens, inks, and sometimes stationery, and tech and gadgets. If any of this interests you, please check out CJ's Wunderkammer (German term for "cabinet of wonders"):

The dumbphone phenomena is fascinating. I think my approach to reducing my smartphone usage when I feel it's appropriate is different because I knew life before smartphones. Yes, I get stuck mindlessly looking at social media sometimes, but I turn to other things like reading or journaling (or watching TV 😅) rather than feeling I have to switch to a dumbphone. To each their own.

It's #InkSwatchWednesday (I almost forgot!). Today's ink is blue-black, Birmingham Pen Co's Mulberry Silk. I also talk too much about Lamy Cliff. 😅

I bought some Black Black gum (Japanese product) from Amazon and got a package with random yellow pieces of gum included. Anyone know the difference from the original gum? I didn’t try translating the packaging before opening it (and ripping off half of the writing explaining the yellow pieces). 🤦‍♀️

I don't really need to build a collection of TWSBI ECOs, but considering my recent thing about getting brown pens, brown inks, and coffee-related pens and inks, this one may be a purchase. 😅
