This week, the ink is where it’s at! Oh, there’s still lots of other interesting things to read but between Macchiato Man’s overview of the Sailor 100 inks and Mountain of Ink reviewing the much revered Parker Penman Sapphire, the Ink category is this week’s hot ticket.
Oh, and in honor of Chinese New Year, I thought you might enjoy seeing this video that our Asian American group put together at work in honor of the occasion. If you watch carefully, you might see someone you know!
