For a second I thought you were implying that you embedded programming into the rest of that list and I was trying hard to think of what you'd program into a fountain pen

Next Gen actually flexible livescribe fountain pen?? I honestly spent WAY too long trying to design a system that would automatically digitize what I wrote but work with a fountain pen. I eventually gave up and moved on to designing a system for a single handed braille keyboard to let me text while walking. Which I also have on hold. (I HAVE completed some projects, I have a knit shawl of silk/yak that I spun all the yarn for and then added 4000 beads to the edge work. I actually made two of them in different colors and materials. And I've made some crud apps and artwork. There is just too much that is interesting!)

Favorite fountain pen and ink (or at least your favorite at the moment)?

I love vinta perya (I dilute it further with water) in my Noodler's clear flex pen. I have a million pens and inks but that's the combo that makes me happy and that I keep going back to ๐Ÿ’•
