Yes, once again, just in time for a long weekend when everyone is out of town… oh, dear. Well, let’s hope not, because me and my pen-sensitive fingers will be available for free massages* at Paper Umbrella, which is found at 2724 13th Avenue in Regina, which is in Saskatchewan, which is in Canada, between …

Extruding from Another Dimension!
The first item in this entry has very little to do with pens, apart from having emerged into the world from the end of one. A story of mine, “Free Balloons for All Good Children,” had been posted on Pseudopod, one of the great names in horror podcasting (and I’m not just saying that because …

A Change of Face
I have changed the theme of the site for the moment to one which is… ugly, to be frank. However, it has the charm of allowing all the pull-down menus to work properly. Before I explain what’s happening in that department, I will also quickly mention a new page for a jolly interesting new pen …

The Patient is Ambulatory
Things are mostly back to where they should be here, which the absence of The Apocalypse Announcement on the opening page probably tipped you off to. I still have to go through the news posts like this one and eliminate a quantity of mysteriously-appeared back-slashes (and the link-breaking they bring with them) but since all that is …

Minor Catastrophe
Something went wrong with my Word Press set up; anyone who has been trying to visit here since 20 February has likely been seeing a perfectly blank screen. Well… I SORT OF fixed it. I initially had a small attack of the marthambles when it looked like all the content had evaporated. This is not …

Sic Semper Taranis
Well, I appear to have undone the damage done by Jerk MacJerk of Clan MacCreep, but I’m still trying to sort out the damage done by the WordPress update it required. For example, I’ve just noticed that what used to produce a different coloured background text box now doesn’t, so there are several pages with …

Touched by a Jerk
If you are here to find out why the hell this site has been bugging you to buy stuff, I’ll say briefly: Some jerk got through my defenses and has been annoying people without my knowledge or consent. I have a slightly more detailed version of this event over at my blog, if you are …

Rapid Fire
I go months without an update, and now two in one week! I’m dizzy from it! Now appearing are new pages for an Esterbrook pen which predates the Esterbrook J Series which most of us are familiar with– it’s called the Dollar, because otherwise we have to call it three different models, and that seems …

Barnacle Removal
I recently realized that I had a quantity of broken content here, thanks to the combined efforts of Dropbox and Photobuquet. That’s an intentional misspelling to keep from helping with search engine results because Dropbox merely closed some doors while those others are engaged in piratical monetization by infinite pop-up ad. I suspect they’ll find …
