I love how all the expensive devices with styluses advertise them as being "almost like paper".

Just write on paper then (!), and save hundreds of dollarbucks.

I guarantee you that writing with a #fountainpen on some good quality paper (e.g. Tomoe River) will give you an experience that no digital device can hope of achieving...

I'm not going to waste my precious human time reading something that you didn't spend your precious human time writing.

I really don't care about the well-aligned randomly stolen words of a text-generating machine you are using for cheap marketing.

Objectively speaking, Hongdian has absolutely no business putting out boxes THIS beautiful with their pens. For how much this cost me, without a sale, I am blown away.

Unboxing tomorrow, because I have my late grandmother's voice screaming in my head, "New things must only be shown on Sunday. Saturdays' are inauspicious, brat!"

First purchase this year, a treat to myself for making it through the 1st phase of respiratory physio. 🧿🥳

Still very sick, but better enough to speak a bit about 2 new pens.

In front is a special edition Jinaho 82 that's more akin to smaller 1911 Profit models. Sadly, the finials aren't swappable like on the standard 82, so it's not as customisable.

The rear pen is the Sailor 1911 Large Casual with their new steel nib that they've designed to feel like their gold nibs. I've still to test on rougher paper, but I struggled to feel the difference between it & the 21k nib on TR.

I switched my phone somewhat recently — from an Android phone to a FLX1s Linux Phone.

I am an early adopter — so there are some rough areas, but —

I am largely happy with the phone.
Especially given that it is a privacy oriented phone, that is an open platform, built on open-source software, where I am in control of it.

One nice thing though — for the apps where there is no Linux alternative, you can run (some) Android apps on it.
