Editing The Pen Addict 19/transcript (section)

== Lamy Safari ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, you know, when we started this podcast, I was like, Myke really takes this Lamy Safari to work every day. And that's all the only pen he uses. How does that work? And look at me now.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's cool, though. I'll use a fountain pen all night at work and not even think twice about it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You're posting ink reviews now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, I know. And don't get me started on that. I'm a horrible ink reviewer. I look at all these other guys and girls that do these ink reviews. They do such a nice job. The level of geekdom in fountain pen ink reviews is like they turn that up to 11. I mean, they really, really go in depth. And I just don't have that comfort level to do that yet. But it'll come one day when I'm able to dissect and ink like some of these other reviewers.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Practice makes perfect.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yes. Yeah, exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So we're going to, as you mentioned, we're going to talk briefly about a pen case that we've been using before we finish. But just before we do that, let me tell you about our second sponsor. And this is a sponsor that's doing something really special for us that I know the listeners of this show are going to love. So our sponsor today is Igloo Software. Igloo is your digital workplace. It's a place for you and your team to give status updates, have discussions, and share files of each other all in one awesome, beautiful online place. You can create spaces for each of your departments or teams, which include their own calendars, forums, blogs, document repositories, and Twitter-like status updates. You can even make these spaces private if you need to. You can upload any type document into the spaces you create, share it with your colleagues, add comments and ratings. You can then spread it between departments for approvals before locking down the final version if you're sending it out to a publisher or marketing or whatever it is that you do that you would need Igloo for. Igloo is project management at its best with an easy drag-and-drop interface, which is simple to set up and help you maintain your intranet. You don't have to have meetings for everything anymore, and you don't need to worry about having meetings for all aspects of a project that you or your team are working on. When you post a document or start a discussion, only the people you want to contribute can. It's all about making your workplace more efficient, and Igloo takes care of this for you. You can try Igloo for free for 30 days, and they're giving that to all of our listeners. You can go to igloosoftware.com forward slash 70 to try that out, and you can start your 30-day free trial. But Igloo are also doing something really cool for us. They're giving away a Field Notes national crop set. So they're going to give that away to one of our listeners. Now, if you sign up for the demo, you're entered automatically. But if you want to win the Field Notes national crop set, but you don't want to try out Igloo for some crazy reason, you can also go to igloosoftware.com forward slash 70. There'll be a link in the show notes. And you can just enter the contest right there. So thank you very much to Igloo for offering the free trial to everyone, and also for understanding our listeners and knowing what they enjoy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that's awesome. That's a really cool set. And I remember when it came out that I said I hadn't bought it yet. Well, I did end up breaking down and buy it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Good, good. I'm coming to the end of the corn, which is number one. Cool. I've been using, oh, man, have I been using the Palais Journal. I'll save that for another time.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, that setup's working well for you. How you added in the Field Notes into the Palais.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep, love it, love it. And I've been using the Field Notes the most. The Palais, I've been kind of sketchnoting it a bit. I've been sketchnoting quite a lot, you know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's great. Yeah, I already mentioned that. You know, in the Enough podcast, you know, where the Pen Addict podcast has now become the podcast that will not be named.
