Fuck You, spam!

As people who’ve worked with me in the print industry know, I love the common pencil. Having one tucked behind my ear at all times became something of a trademark. Maybe its the simplicity of the graphite wrapped in a wooden shell, topped with an eraser.

I’ve even given a lot of thought to certain aspects of the pencil. An example would be cutting an inch and a half off the pencil before it’s first sharpening. I find that the pencil starts out top heavy and I gain huge amounts of control simply by shortening it.

I wondered if I was the only one that had deep thoughts about this “forgotten apparatus”.

I was wrong.

Pencil Revolution is a site dedicated to all things pencil — Reviews, art work, and more are displayed there.

I’m a little less unique than I was five minutes ago.

Looks like things are back up and running. I’m sure because of various hacks I’ve made to my installation, there will be bugs to work out.

If you find one, please leave a comment.

Its good to be back.
