Plotting for Motivation
January 9, 2012Read moreSUMMARY: I’d hoped to do a lot of work done this weekend, but I came down with a bad case of the blahs. Instead of going to sleep at a responsible time, I stayed up late and consumed a lot of television and Internet in an attempt to drown out a growing sense of malaise. And instead of getting up early, I slept-in and then berated myself ineffectually. Apathy ruled the day.
Zonked out in bed very late Sunday morning, I started to trace through the likely causes of my unproductive bout of ill humor, establishing a preliminary framework of understanding to help realign my attitude.

Render-K Brass HiTec-C Pen Holder
December 31, 2011Read moreIt seems that making fancy metal pens based on legendary pen cartridges are the profitable thing to do this year. The Render K Custom-Machined Pen is the latest in a series of pens I’ve been ogling, starting with cw&t’s Pen Type A and followed by PHX-1 Design Toolkit.

The Pen Type A’s background is like a quirky love story, whereas the PHX-1 reads like the engineered result of a straight-forward business opportunity. The Render-K’s story is one about small American custom machine shops that design, fabricate, and are starting to create their own products. They are together creating the early history of the DIY-to-market movement that started with websites like Etsy; now we’re moving on to more complicated stuff!
