Editing The Pen Addict 410/transcript (section)

== Shiyun Limited Edition Release ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' This color is spectacular. I was trying to get a translation of Shiyun. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right. S-H-I-U-N. The initial translations I came up with were Purple Cloud or Violet Cloud, which make a lot of sense in the imagery.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Lennon Toolbar.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Lennon Toolbar. Lennon Toolbar. But the imagery is like Purple Clouds around Mount Fuji. When you look up Purple Cloud or Violet Cloud on Google or Google Translate for Shiyun, it gets into some Buddhism. When you die, Buddha shows up on the Purple Cloud kind of thing. So I'm like, okay, this could be an interesting... I don't think that's what they're going for here, but that's a whole other level. No, I don't... Because the imagery is Mount Fuji and Purple Clouds around it. So I'm sure it's kind of some sunset sunrise. I doubt they're going to have the Buddhism factor in the marketing for the pen. But it lined up pretty quickly in Google Translate as, you know, that's what Buddha shows up on a violet cloud.

'''Myke Hurley:''' When I was looking up, trying to get the description of Shiyun and the meaning behind that, which I thought was super interesting. So anyway, this pen will do extremely well. So it reminds me mostly of the last release, which was the Roka, which was like the snowflake one, the all clear one with tons of, you know, faceting, etching edges. Like it just had really a lot going on in the barrel. And it wasn't for me. Like this is going to be too much, I think, for me. But you never know when you see it in person, like what you're actually going to get here. So I'll be anxious to see this one in person.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That literally had holes in it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You remember that one, right? Platinum didn't do one. I mean, there was a Pinnider honeycomb that literally had holes in it. Basically, it was like lattice work.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay, maybe that's what I'm talking about. And it was clear.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It was clear honeycomb pattern. It was the Pinnider honeycomb, which we talked about on the show. So you might be thinking of that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I think I am thinking of that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because Platinums did not have holes in them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay. Then it must have been that one. Let me see. I can find it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's that pen. Yeah. The Pinnider honeycomb.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's a really neat pen. Like when you pick it up and hold it. I remember the first time I ever got to touch one, I broke it in half. It was pretty cool.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's it. I remember you telling me that story.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But still, I love that pen. They've come out with a black one that's pretty cool too. So it's a good pen.
