I need some suggestions for topics to blog about. Anything. If you want me to review something just let me know. Hit me up on twitter or get in touch with me via my contact page.

Thanks.

As a student in College I do a lot of writing.  Whether it be taking notes in class, writing down some lyrics or writing a rough draft of a paper I do a lot of writing.  I have been fascinated by great pens since I can remember.  I love the pens that write smooth and have a fine point.  That is why I buy the best of the best.  I leave the Bic and Pentech pens on the shelf.  You can probably guess what pens I grab by the title.  Uni-ball.  They make a pen for every want and need.

Lets begin with the kinds of pens Uni-ball makes.  They make gel pens, roller pens, and jetstream pens.  Whether you are into scrap booking or you want to prevent check washing, one of these three pen styles is going to be right for you.  

What is my favorite pen? The Vision Elite.  The Vision Elite is a roller pen.  One thing that sets the Vision Elite out from the crowd is, well, everything.  This is an indestructable pen with great writing flow.  For $2.50 it is a little pricey but you can't go wrong when you buy it.  This pen lasts me months.  The longer I use it makes no difference on the quality of the pen's writing.  So not only does the pen last a long time but the quality of the writing never ceases to amaze your eyes.  Another great feature is that the Vision Elite won't leak in flight.  If you are cruising at 30,000 feet above the ground in a plane or at

There they are.  My favorite pens in the entire world.  The Vision Elite Micro.  Believe me when I say, "You can't go wrong with these pens.  You will be very satisfied after you purchase them."  So go ahead. Go buy yourself a pen.  But not just any pen.  Go buy yourself a Vision Elite Micro from Uni-ball.  They won't let you down.

Along with the New Year of 2009 comes great excitement.  There is much going on all over the world.  In the US we have many events, not all being technologicaly related.  In January alone we have the MacWorld Expo that happened today and a new president will be sworn into office within the next few weeks. 

As I have heard from some of my friends one of the "geeky" New Year resolutions is to get organized on your computer.  That is what I am going to do.  Along with getting organized I am going to start blogging more.  I already have a few ideas of what to blog about.  

Stay tuned for there is more to come this week and the weeks following.  

I got an email from my dad and included was a link to this video.  I can't agree more than I do.  Watch this video.  It clearly tells us that WE DON'T SAVE OUR MONEY. We need to save or else America will go into a recession.  Be smart people and don't buy things you can't afford.

Ben Stein says it perfectly at 4:28.  A nuclear war has hit the financials.  

The party is over in the United States.  We need to save money and start living within our means.  

I was surfing around on the internet as I occasionally do and I found this pretty cool site called Wordle.  I had to give it a try.  You can paste in any text you would like, enter the url to a blog that has an RSS feed and you can even type in someone's delicious account name and use their tags.  You can edit the color scheme and even the layout of the final result.  Here are a few examples.

The first one was created when I entered my blog's url.  

For this next one I typed in TUAW's url.

It sure is amazing what you can find on the internet. Check Wordle.net out here.
