Link Love: All Caught Up!

It took an age but my RSS reader is officially at ZERO. Below is a mess of links stretching back almost a month. I’ve decided that the new “things that should not be named” (per The Pen Addict Podcast) are the Baron Fig Confidant notebook and Pelikan M2XX pens, but I’ve included a few reviews below anyway.

I think “cursive is dead” and “postage is SO expensive” are also comments-non-gratis.
