(Boston Globe) Alex Beam heralds the revival of an analog data entry device, the classic Blackwing 602 pencil beloved by artists and writers. A California company is reissuing a Blackwing clone to fill the void left when the pencil was discontinued in 1998. (Video by Michael Saunders)

    That's stupid to pay $25 for something disposable. Get yourself a $50 TWSBI Diamond 540, it's a well made fountain pen, so writing will be a wonderful experience. Best of all, you just twist the knob one way, stick the nib in any bottle of ink, twist the knob in the opposite direction, and bam, you've got a few days to a weeks worth of ink in your pen, over and over again. It'll last a long time, and if it breaks, TWSBI will repair it free of charge.
