Crowdsourcing with nifty prizes!

James, at The Pear Tree Pen Company, is about to launch his company’s new website, and he needs your help.  The new site has the capability of adding reviews for products that he sells.  If you have a few minutes, he’d probably appreciate it if you went and took a look around.  If you own something he sells, and you’ve got some thoughts on it…share ‘em!  He’s planning to choose a random reviewer per week, and spiff them a nifty little prize of some sort provided that there are 5 reviews/week.  Not a bad deal, if you ask me.

For the record, I don’t stand to benefit from your participation, and I’m not on The Pear Tree’s payroll; I am, however, a friend of his as well as a repeat customer.  Just to set the record straight…:)  And if my name happens to get pulled out of the hat for a nifty spiff, I’m going to give it away to one of you deserving readers.  You’ll see a post from me with some sort of contest if that happens.

I put in my review (of a Visconti Van Gogh Maxi in Sandal Red/Brown).  What are YOU going to review?

Get ‘em while you can!!!

Like these inks?  Get ‘em quick…they’re being discontinued, and from what I understand, they’re not going to be re-ordered.

What about these colors of the TrueWriter?  Same story…get ‘em while you still can.

Happy shopping!

Conklin Ohio: A couple of quick pictures…

Hadn’t posted any pictures lately, and I thought these turned out pretty nicely.  What’s your take?

Does this look a little strange to you?

Speedmaster has a great review of a new notebook from Rhodia that’s built to give Moleskine some competition. Find out what he thought of it here!

I’m not dead yet…

…just haven’t had much time lately.

I’m working on a few cool things, though. Stay tuned in the next couple of days. I think my schedule is finally calming down a little bit.

I trust everyone is doing well!
