This allegorical image of pencils seemed appropriate with the impending election here in the US. I hope everyone sharpens their pencils and casts their vote on Tuesday.

Sensu Artist Brush & Stylus for Touch Devices
I was snooping around JetPens I stumbled across this unique item: the Sensu Artist Brush and Stylus for touch-sensitive devices. Using the brush end, it’s supposed to better simulate brush strokes in drawing and painting apps and then the other end is a rubberized stylus for drawing and tapping. I know a lot of artists are integrating the iPad and other touch devices into their creative process and I think this might be a cool way to expand the types of marks that can be created. $39.99.
Holler if you’ve used one and let me know how well it works!
Stats on office supply heists and the Winner of the Mug
First, let’s examine the favorite pilfered office supplies by the readers who left comments. Pens and post-it notes made up about half the liberated office supplies among the 23 comments. Several people said that their office stocked crappy supplies and they were more inclined to bring in their own goods than borrow from the office cupboard. I’m glad all office supply liberation was kept under the $5 price point so I think it will largely go overlooked. And keep bringing in those quality office supplies to make up for the occasional escapee.
And now, for our winner:
And the winner is : Valerie! Congrats! I’ll be contacting you via email to claim your prize. Happy office supply absconding!

Washi Tape Hooks
If you love washi tape then these hooks that look like bits of tape are just the thing. But you either have to speak Japanese or know someone who is going to Japan to get a pack of three for yourself.
