How I Work - Doane Paper + Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto

Doane Paper

I mention frequently on Twitter that I use more than one pen on any given day, so I thought I would post a quick picture explaining why.  I am in the IT field, so most of my writing during the day consists of quick hit notes, and a few planning layouts, like in the picture above.  This is where the Pilot Hi-Tec-C comes in handy.  I like to take my base notes in one color, add or append any details with another color, and sometimes scratch things out with a third.  The colors in use are 0.4mm cartridges of Clear Blue, Apricot Orange, and Blue Black.  It's nice to be able to get this done all with one pen barrel.

This is pretty basic stuff for me everyday.  Sorry for the blown out colors in the photo and the wrinkled paper.  This has been floating around in my backpack for a couple of weeks.

Uni-Ball Signo RT 0.38mm 8 Color Set Winner

March Giveaway Madness was a huge success, with this last giveaway for the Uni-Ball Signo RT 0.38mm set drawing the most number of entries for any giveaway I have done on The Pen Addict.  Thanks to everyone for making this so much fun!

Random.org pulled #15 out of the hat this morning, making jasedit the winner with this comment:

I'll throw an entry into the ring - I've been holding off on some since I'm not into the giveaway pen enough to alter other's chances. This pen set seems mighty nice though - maybe I'll get lucky!
