so i recently went on an office / drawing supply bender, buying up things like next years planner and archival notebooks. Yes it was thrilling, but even more so because i found that Pilot brand writing utensils can now be purchased directly from the their site ! This is indeed news as i now needn’t order C-tecs and felt markers from option one: that used-to-be very select number of overpriced art and office supply retailers, or option two: navigating the maze that is a japanese stationary site!
THE PENS:
g-tec-c
fine_liner
bravo marker pen
the shaker mech. pencil
THE PAPER:
Apica Notebook CD15
moleskine planner 2010
MOLESKINE CAHIER PLAIN x3
and while i’m admiring (mostly) japanese school supplies >
multiple aspects of of our culture lead me to believe that a lot of this type of speculation has merit and in all honesty, with the current state of living room technology, the cable companies that are now evolving into gatekeepers of the web, the growing list of products that cater to serving custom entertainment, MMO’s and networked platform gaming (xbox 360, ps3, wii [which provides the open-source opera as its out of box browser]), not to mention the positioning of the platforms in anticipation of an emergent market for processor heavy with minimal storage, nearly all wireless!!! so i’m wondering what this means? is it inevitable? How can the medium be exploited for user benefit?
Oh i forgot to mention… i saw something interesting today on cable, on channel 125 (!) i was captivated by a seamless presentation of interesting insites. A channel dedicated to supplying viewers with fringe news, quirky web-based trending (i.e. search term popularity, video popularity, etc.). This entity has established an incredible relationship with viewers/users. current com.
I’m just trying to get some feedback on this notion. It’s been something wearing on my mind. nawing gently, but nawing none the less. validation? verification? critiques. whatever…
