The newest addition to my pen family, my first fountain pen, the Lamy Vista.
Don’t ask me why I like pens so much, especially considering the small amount of writing I do. There is something enjoyable about writing with a pen that always flows smoothly with nary a smudge. A former coworker, who is much further along this road, introduced me to this “starter” fountain pen.

Stumbled across an excellent Flash-based game today. Spent too much time playing when I had more pressing matters to do. No time to blog, must play again.
A live action puzzle game written for fun in flash. You have to stop your enemies, or ‘creeps’, from travelling all the way across the screen. Tower pieces can be purchased and placed on the map to kill the creeps before they make it across. Inspired by a Warcraft 3 tower defense map called Autumn Crossing and a few other TD Warcraft III maps.

Hipster-L wrote about save.ca, a website that tracks coupons you can print and use at your local store. I thought it was a fascinating idea, but lazy guy that I am, I thought it was too much work to visit the website periodically.
I looked for a way to be notified when a new coupon was issued, but I couldn’t find one. The irony (q.v. “lazy” above) then, is that I decided the obvious approach was to fiddle with some software to create an Atom feed out of it! I haven’t tested it much, but it seems to work well enough.
