The pen is mightier the sword

And that is why I bought another Parker pen, this time for at the office rather then in the car for whenever out at a client’s business. I absolutely loved the model I had in the car (Insignia for those curious) and would highly advise it for anyone looking for a good quality pen. It has a great feel in your hand (I prefer the slim type) and writes just perfectly!

Update: Damnit! The pen writes in blue, oh well thankfully Ill just buy a black refill

I have just recently listed this site in the Standards Reboot for 2007 which I think is a great concept for showing off how semantically correct your code is without CSS to aide it. I was hoping to do it under the new design but just don’t think Ill have the time to finish it off for it.

Came across another checklist that you might be a hardcore (read: obsessed) designer, heres some I could relate to!

2. You get pissed when a free Photoshop brush you download is less than 1000px in size.

5. You’ve had “Software Nightmares,” when you’ve been working way too much.

6. You consider meals interruptions.

7. You’ve intentionally given up trying to explain your projects to non-designers.

8. You’d rather organize your desktop than your sock drawer.

15. You’ve actually $paid for a font.

16. You bookmark a resource more often than you have a fun night out on the town.

22. You’ve intentionally overbid a project because you can sniff out a bad client from a mile away.

23. You can’t go to a restaurant without secretly critiquing the menu design.

25. If you had a penny for every mouse click, you would have been a trillionaire 3 years ago.
