Link Love: Hive Mind

Thanks for your patience this week. Technology was not on my side.

Alternately, It seems the pen community was using its hive mind. Of course, everyone is talking about the new TWSBI GO, even my non-pen friends are getting in on the action. But other pens and inks that are not the hottest new thing are bubbling up at the same time. Write eXperience reviewed the Birmingham Pen Model A pen and I just got one in the mail this week and both My Supply Room and I reviewed the Clena this week (coming tomorrow!). Great minds do think alike!
