Pen porn
Inspired by Jason Robb article on the pens he uses for interface sketching (http://www.uxbooth.com/blog/tools-for-sketching-user-experiences/)
I thought it would be fun to do some research into the best pens that people use.
Need to make a trip to the London graphics center.
So far the pens to investigate are:
- Promarker 5 Sets
- STABILO point 88
- Tria Markers
- Uni Pin Drawing Pen
- Pentel GraphGear 1000 Pencil
- Artline Ergoline Fineliner
- Pilot Hi-Tec-C Gel Ink Pen – 0.4 mm – Yawaragi Colors – Usuzumi
- Tombow ABT Dual Brush Pen
- Faber Castell Pitt Artists Drawing Pen
Images and testing coming soon.

An ego cloud from linkedin recomendations
Just ran my Linkedin recomendations through Wordle and rather like the results. 
Need to work on this a little more
This site is looking a bit all over the place now… think I need to redesign it and have less things going on.
It was meant to be a place where I woud blog about what I do (user experience design) with my friend Jonny dying it became a place where I was writing my thoughts and trying to spread the word about what people where doing to remember him.
I now really want to concentrate on writing more often and more about UX.
