PicoPad Wallet Notes

Thursday, March 8, 2007

PicoPadThe PicoPad® is pure genius. It’s a pad of sticky notes — with a tiny pen — in a case the size of a credit card that you can easily slip it into your wallet. The PicoPad and its refills are also incredibly inexpensive. I am always scribbling notes on the backs of business cards and receipts in my wallet, so this is a product near and dear to my heart. My girlfriend gave me one last week and I’ve already used it several times.

I love books, for example, and can’t enter a bookstore without finding more than a few that I am dying to read. Instead of spending megabucks at the brick and mortar, though, here’s what I do: I jot down the ISBN and then, when I get home, find the title at Amazon. If I simply must have it, I’ll grab a used copy there for much, much less. Otherwise I add it to my wishlist for a rainy day.

Levenger Gotham Pen Refill

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

About a decade ago I bought a Gotham model pen from Levenger. It is by far my favorite pen. This weekend I found it in the cigar box I use to hold all my “best” pens and was quite disappointed to discover that its ink had run dry. Levenger no longer makes this fabulous pen and a search of their site and Google searches of the whole web returned no results for refills. A last-chance attempt was made: I found a model number on the ink cartridge — PR0162 — and that yielded results on the Levenger site. I ordered three sets of two refills. If you happen to have a Gotham, I’d grab some refills now before they stop carrying them.
