🔗 🖋️ Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pen Re-Review
It’s funny that sbrebrown posted this today, because I was thinking of posting the opposite. I’ve had this pen for about 2 months now, and it might be my desert island pen. It’s not flashy, but that nib is SO good.
I didn’t think my expectations for this show could get any higher, but this trailer proved me wrong. Holy cow. Dave Filoni, don’t let me down.
🔗 A Twitter bug is restoring deleted tweets and retweets — including my own - The Verge
Can confirm that my Twitter account, which should be completely barren, has lots of tweets from 2017 and earlier. 🤦🏻♂️
I have enough ECOs in my life that I won’t be buying this, but as someone who prefers the ECO-T to the standard, I’m happy to see so many new color options come out recently.
Star Wars Rebels is my favorite Star Wars property. To see all these characters appear in live action in this trailer made my heart swell this morning.
🔗 DOES YOUR FLAG FAIL? Grey Grades The State Flags!
I really enjoyed this video from CGP Grey. And I’m proud that 2/3 states I’ve lived in were A tier. Not so proud of the grade my home state, Georgia, received.
🖋️ 🔗 Ink Review: Laban Greek Mythology Apollo Orange and Aphrodite Pink — The Gentleman Stationer
Unlike many orange inks, Apollo Orange isn’t a particularly dry writer, so I’ve not had any issues with hard starts or nib crud. I’ve also found the ink cleans out of pens fairly easily, which is always a pleasant surprise with oranges.
Uh oh. I may know what my next purchase is going to be.
🔗 🖋️ Ink of the Week – Iroshizuku Yama-budo | Fountain Pen Love
Now that I think about it, I don’t know if I’ve ever come across anyone who doesn’t like it!
It took me a little while to come around to this ink, but now it’s one of my favorites, and in one of my favorite pens at all times.
📺 The Good Place - Jeremy Bearimy
Keeping with the theme of things that make me happy, this is one of the funniest moments in tv history. It popped up on YouTube for me today, and I’ve watched again multiple times.
🔗 John Mayer - Shot in the Dark (Live at the Hollywood Palladium)
My last 2 posts have been negative, so here’s something that brings me joy. This song is 🔥, and the guitar solo in this version (3:33) is everything I love about John’s playing.
🔗 Kindle Scribe review: Big, beautiful, and… buttonless? – Six Colors
This review has me very tempted. Buying one would help me with my goal to read more books this year, right?
🔗 Apple Arcade for the Holidays - Matt Birchler
I know this may not ever happen, but it really would be nice to be able to pay a flat fee to get some of these games to own forever outside the subscription.
I would do this in a heartbeat.
🔗 Trump Should Be Removed from Office - Christianity Today
But the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.
So thankful to finally see evangelical institutions beginning to take a stand. It should have happened a long time ago, and more should be doing it. But this is a good thing.
🔗 Moonrakers by IV Studios — Kickstarter
One of my best friends has been working tirelessly on this game for almost 2 years. I’ve play tested it several times, and it’s fun. Really fun. If you enjoy table-top games, you owe it to yourself to at least check out the kickstarter.
🔗 The Mandalorian - Official Trailer
My goodness. The visuals look stunning. Is it November 12 yet?
🔗 2009 vs 2019: 10 Songs vs 10 Songs - DJ Earworm Mashback
I always thought my parents were weird for thinking the music they listened to in college was better than current pop. Watching this, I now believe music from 2009 (when I graduated college) was so much better than today.
Also DJ Earworm is a genius.
Other than knowing it’s still a ways off from being ready for prime time, I knew very little about 5G. As with everything Marques does, this video was great.
📺 Rumor: Ewan McGregor Signed on for Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ Series /Film
Please be true. Please be true. Please be true. Please be true. Please be true. Please be true.
🔗 Apple Maps in iOS 13: Sights Set on Google – MacStories
A collection is ultimately just a list of locations, so it can serve any purpose you need it to. You can use collections to plan upcoming vacations, keeping track of all the places you want to visit on your trip; you can also have collections dedicated to intriguing coffee shops, prospective date night spots, or restaurants that have been recommended to you. Every collection can have a name and even custom photo set by you, so you can truly make it your own.
I don’t know how I missed an introduction to this feature with iOS 13, but it sounds fantastic. I can’t wait to try it out. It might be about time to add the beta to my phone too.
🔗 Marvel Announces New Kylo Ren and Knights of Ren Origin Comic
Soule’s Vader series was incredible. I can’t wait for this!
