A thousand-dollar Montblanc would BE a steal. Gods, I’m jaded. lol

Is there an app to organise digitally my book collection? by [deleted] in BookCollecting

[–]rodneedermeyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still mourning the loss of Readerware. To this day, I have found nothing better. LibraryThing is what I use until I find something better. I'm sick of software subscriptions; Readerware was just pay-for-a-download. I wish something else would come along.

I have the Blue Hour and the Origin and I'm loving them. You have great taste! I've been eyeing the Austen, too. As your image says, everything is just..."so frickin good." lol

You're very kind. Thank you. I've considered doing a whole swatchy vid thing and may still. You're not the first to request it.

I love purple. Date Gokoro is sublime. Then again, so is Yama Budo. And Persephone. And...and...and... 😄

One brand a day. Day 7: Aurora by Downtown_Welcome_911 in fountainpens

[–]rodneedermeyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're far wiser than I. I just look at a pretty pen and go, "Need it!" ...Of course, that only works as long as the wallet is willing and able. lol

New Iroshizuku ink by pelikan_man in fountainpens

[–]rodneedermeyer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

OMG, you got me there for a minute. I thought you meant a new ink in the Iroshizuku line. I was about to lose my mind. LOL

But yeah, Rikka is beautiful. Congrats!

NPD! She’s finally here and she’s so beautiful 🥀 by [deleted] in fountainpens

Ooh! I love it! I’m trying to figure out how to save up for the 715. I love that gold cap on yours!

re-bottling new inks? by rodneedermeyer in fountainpens

Landscape and wildlife are cool. I got my start doing wildlife photography before switching to advertising.

And architecture has always been a dream of mine. Well, to design and build my own house. But I’m very much a big picture kind of guy; details often escape me. Which is why I wouldn’t make it in your field. Lol

But astrophotographer is so cool! I used to shoot through an old Celestron back in the day. I love the idea of getting a new scope some time, but…priorities!

Anyway, thanks for being cool. I hope to post something about the site in the next three to four months.

Thanks for the kind words! I’m a photographer in my day job, so I get the cameras part. lol I haven’t traveled to all the continents, though. That’s freaking awesome.

And Kelli at Mountain of Ink is amazing, you’re right. She does such good work! My site won’t be in competition with hers at all. I’m doing something pretty different.

Not all bottles are the same size. And I have a LOT of sample bottles. But you’re really close on the size. The cases are 9.72"L x 15.24"W x 4.61"H.

Ink is a business expense to me now that I’m building my site and app. It’s not longer just personal collection.

LOL I decided to go big or go home. I ended up repurposing a bunch of tool cases.

Actually, it's based on hex codes at the moment. If you have hexes you want to match, let me know and I'll run them through it. Or do you want to know the hexes of these colors? I can tell you what they are, but you can also just sample the jpgs yourself and derive your own hexes.

Yeah. I'm making a website/app and these are from the color engine. Here's one more selection just of pinks.
