So I'm currently listening to my brother practice piano and thusly bored. I could rant about the pressure's put on little children by society these days... but I think I've ranted enough for today. So I'm going to start something which I hope to make a staple of this little rantspace:

Stuff I think is cool:

Now, I often find cool things on the web or otherwise that I think are really cool (or that would interest other people). If I didn't write them down or immediately send the link to someone, I'd forget. And that would be sad.

Anyway today's cool stuff: Pens.

Three pens of note, and a pencil.

1) The Porsche Design pen by Faber-Castell
Starting at the very top of the line... at nearly $200, the amazing pen designed by Porsche Design Studios. Now the pictures hardly do it justice and if you've ever held one of these babies in your hand, you'd know what I mean. It has a pretty good heft to it and writes like a charm. Not only that, the woven metal is flexible and, what's really really cool is that you actually compress the pen to click it (the metal bends to accomodate this). It also comes as a mechanical pencil and a fountain pen and in variations on gold/silver weave. (I personally prefer the all silver...).

2) Cross Pens
These are really cool pens (link lets you see them in 3D).
