== iPenbox Subscription ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' makes sense. So. R. Wendell asked, what are your thoughts on the iPenbox subscription? They've been getting it for a few months and thought they had good variety. This is completely new to me.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So it's completely new to me other than I have heard of it and I've never looked at it. So I'm going to the site now and I want to see if I can find what's in the box. So it's a $30 monthly pen box. Let's see if we can find what's in one of these things. And if anyone in the chat room has used it, let me see. But you coming up with any, any products in the iPenbox, Myke? Yep. There's got to be a, all right. So they've got a link in the show notes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They have like a, on the, on the main page, they have like a history, like what's been in previous boxes? So for example, in the February box, Schaefer viewpoint calligraphy fountain pen, two millimeter broad nib, Monteverde fountain pen ink sample of Mandarin orange, the Rosetta notes pocket notebook dot grid, also in orange. This was clearly the orange box. Yeah. The, the hashtag winter with orange, the worth, worth a shorty 3.5 inch, 3.15 mechanical pencil.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's a cool pencil. I have one of those. That looks wicked. They're actually pretty cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' The, uh, Schneider slider edge triangular barrel, Visco glide ballpoint pen, and the Oto Minimo

'''Brad Dowdy:''' credit comp pen. Okay. This is a pretty cool selection of stuff. I can totally get behind this selection of goods. Yeah. That looks great. I mean, this is what you want in a box. You get variety. You get stuff that's not right off the shelf. You get extra things like an ink sample,

'''Myke Hurley:''' but you get, you know, it looks like they go with color themes quite a lot.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. That's cool. Um, I'm totally behind this. This looks like a great, uh, this looks like a great setup for a monthly pen box. You get, I like the, the variety is right on the money. That's what you want to see. And it's not stuff you can just like walk down to the store and get, or necessarily easy, easily find if you were just like shopping and putting it all together. So yeah, I'm, I'm good with that. Like it, it looks cool. Yeah. I think this is a lot of fun. I'm looking through it now.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And this, this looks really good. Like if this is what you're looking for, this is it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So good job. I pen store on your iPad box. I've never heard of iPad store before either. Mm-hmm. I've heard of them. I just have, I haven't shopped there or looked at it necessarily.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think they're doing a good job. This looks like fun.
