The Pen Addict 274/Transcript
Speaker 3: Alright we got a good batch of **** TP a lot of it relates to some of the things we've already talked about the show this first one does not but I think it's a great question I want to throw it out to the listeners because I have a thought but let's see.
Speaker 3: Let let me on Twitter asks what is the best way to fill multiple samples vials with multiple aches for example.
Speaker 1: Ten people.
Speaker 3: With ten inks.
Speaker 1: Each.
Speaker 3: So hundred sample vows you need to fill Mike.
Speaker 3: There's no great way to do this but I would just go the simple route and go with the pipettes.
Speaker 3: There you they're so cheap on a lot of people given away for free pen shows you can buy them in bulk they're easier to clean than a syringe and you can go faster in filling I don't know another way to feel a hundred ng vials.
Speaker 3: More quickly them with the pipettes what do you think.
Speaker 1: Build something.
Speaker 1: Yeah we could.
Speaker 3: I mean not that that's a different answer build some you know.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Cow milking system.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's exactly what would you drill like twenty holes in it you feel twenty things at a time to put some little straws in it like some tubes with a final on the top of it and you just poisoning can it fills them all in one go all like you know those them does warbling things you can get well like you fill up a hundred will balloons and add one of those.
Speaker 3: Of so like a okay so now you've got me really going off the trails here about a Turkey baster.
Speaker 3: Do you know.
Speaker 1: A Turkey baster yeah yeah I'm just trying.
Speaker 3: Just as you would like to let you guys suck up the entire bottle of ink.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: Into the Turkey baster and then just go to all the same boss.
Speaker 1: That's that's a quick way of doing it about building anything but I think if this is something that you do it on a semi regular basis you should build something.
Speaker 3: Yeah the chat room does have a great idea red says just go over the hotel sink and poured the bottle over your file.
Speaker 1: That's no.
Speaker 3: Not a good idea.
Speaker 1: That's not a good idea.
Speaker 3: So this one's right up your alley Mike D. mechanic de macaque me wants to know do you see think it's safe to put the high Sierra beta on my lami two thousand or should I wait for the version one release what do you think.
Speaker 1: I don't even know analysts and I quit.
Speaker 3: I thought of the perfect question for the the topics that we discussed today but I would not put beta on any of my devices that I use to do work with everyday so there's your answer.
Speaker 3: All right been Margolis you know Ben from the DC Pinchot gave us all those pens and stationery from Tokyo is which do you pick me you are murex.
Speaker 3: This is an easy question for both of us.
Speaker 1: IBM you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean that's your in ninety.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's what I know not is based off of and I go lyrics I mean there's just no doubt my mind Merrick's every time so if you're trying to pick one been anyone I recommendations you're not going to get a clear answer from either of us because we both have a favorite that's opposite from each other and we both stand behind those things very very much even as much as I love the mu in the am ninety the mere access for me.
Speaker 1: Now I like the small a completely smooth style.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: All right K. J. Miller who are as a tech podcast and I forgot to.

Speaker 3: Yes so really really fun podcast and he's looking for desk pad notebook options he's been using the barren fig mastermind which is kind of a large plot.
Speaker 1: Had.
Speaker 3: For your desk and then he says I know studio needs coming which is the panel book which you said you were using what else is out there.
Speaker 3: So before both of these products existed my favorite is the Mormon.
Speaker 3: And Nemo sign I don't I never learned how to say that.
Speaker 3: It comes in a large like eleven by eleven by eight I guess comes in a four size and its spiral bound and it can be in horizontal or vertical orientation it's really made for horizontal orientation like a desk pad so it does have a.
Speaker 3: Spiral bound like the studio neat does where the master mind does not it's completely flat so depending on if you want the spiral are not my favorite.
Speaker 3: It's still the more Amman because I think it has better paper than the studio need one even though I love this.
Speaker 1: Profile of the CD a modest Google a bowl product of all time.
Speaker 1: She is a Mormon.
Speaker 1: Yes sorry.
Speaker 3: Sessions with the link in there.

Speaker 1: I don't care don't terrible thing to base I don't care is Greek the terrible thing to base it on like.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 3: So anyway that's always been my number one desk pad by far.
Speaker 1: I say like the worst the worst ever.
Speaker 3: Because of the new shows.
Speaker 1: Naturalized pinon on this list.
Speaker 1: Amazing I don't cast on.
Speaker 3: The paper it's all about the paper yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay Donald M. K. J. terrible name.
Speaker 3: They make some of the best paper in the world of our fight on anyone that.
Speaker 1: More months just a shame no one complains it's stuff.
Speaker 3: It seems no one could pronounce it so if you know where to look you can find anything Mike so here's one I don't know how to find and I'm asking the audience because I don't think such a thing exist unless it's some wack job new lors ink so Nick pick wants to know is there any permanent water resistant ink with crazy sheen out there.
Speaker 3: Does not exist I I am I'm literally asking I have no clue.
Speaker 3: You know any of the permanent inks I use are your basic carbon blacks or nano blues from sailor carbon blacks from platinum.
Speaker 3: You know I use iron gall inks but they have color variation but not sheen.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if that's not a possibility.
Speaker 3: Because I use a lot of iron callings which are permanent none of them have sheen they'll have a some really good shading and the look very pretty they do not Sheens so if anyone has an answer let me know I'd be interested for myself and I will let Nick now.
Speaker 3: So Michael Michael J. who I wanna give a shout out this is top secret might not even you know about it see I don't I don't tell you all the things a man.
Speaker 1: Michael.
Speaker 3: Working on a project might.
Speaker 3: It's the it's almost in the release stage almost in the early stage so I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 1: Son of one of the secret punk constante you do miss out secret.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 3: Top secret project though so he asks in this this is a question near and dear to my heart says that curriculum night for my daughter last night or teacher mentioned that they will be teaching kids proper pencil grip this year because she said that if they don't learn it by the end of the first great it's near impossible to correct in the future I am now wondering is there only one correct pen or pencil grip and if so what is it.
Speaker 3: Somebody with no there's not only one correct crap but what they're probably teaching in which everyone answered Michael in the us like rate my site was the tripod grip.
Speaker 3: Additional grip that is taught now neither of my kids so I have a sixth grade and fourth grader.
Speaker 3: So neither of my kids were taught how to grip they never had any type of homework on how to grip.
Speaker 1: A.
Speaker 3: Pencil or pen.
Speaker 3: But they were definitely taught you know letters and how to write and and all that type of stuff my daughter does not use the tripod grip.
Speaker 3: My son does use the tripod grip.
Speaker 3: My son's hand writing is awful my daughter's hand writing is beautiful so I don't think there's one correct grip.
Speaker 1: In.
Speaker 3: Being in this you know world where we see everyone right.
Speaker 3: You see is the most beautiful hand writing no matter the groups also I don't think it's important I don't think I do think they can learn later in life how to change their grip I don't think it's that difficult it's like learning Mike when I sat down to learn an architectural style hand writing.
Speaker 3: Choirs a little bit of a different grip and you can learn that stuff even in your old age like me.
Speaker 3: So they're gonna get taught the tripod grip which is actually that's great but if your child doesn't like it and it makes our hand running worse they'll figure it out eventually that's kind of what my daughter did she always had a weird group I don't even know how I can explain it but her hand writing is beautiful my son has the perfect traditional grep.
Speaker 1: It it's garbage.
Speaker 3: We have to work on it all the time for buddy.
Speaker 1: But he's got a perfect grip.
Speaker 3: And it's nothing to do with the grip it's just he just doesn't have those motions so.
Speaker 3: But I'm teacher way they're going to figure out what makes their letters look the best as they go and if they don't learn traditional tripod grip that's no problem.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if you have bad hunt right you can get along in this world.
Speaker 1: Yeah no.
Speaker 3: I I.
Speaker 1: You know what Mike.
Speaker 3: I was never anti bad handwriting.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 3: I am totally come around I am pro bad handwriting.
Speaker 1: You Hey and writing in schools right.
Speaker 1: That's right you don't you hate that you think it should be banned did you write that book on again my wife.
Speaker 3: I was about to kill you for today.
Speaker 1: Because as the silence yeah like he would try to work out what I was doing to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There though I was a little confused there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But the please keep teaching handwriting in schools even if it's not persist cursive teacher kids how to write with pens and pencils police.
Speaker 3: All right Tony wants to know are you buying a hope in each of this year I'm assuming this is directed me because I've I have and I haven't bought.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 3: I am still not buying open each.
Speaker 3: It's probably the hardest thing I don't buy everything I think.
Speaker 1: About it every time.
Speaker 3: I know it's a mistake and it's an expensive mistake to make which is why it is sometimes end up buying it and then I still don't use it so I didn't buy one last year and I held out so I'm going again.
