Oh, boy… Bic is getting lots of flack for the gender-specific Bic for Her. Does is come with a just showered fresh scent too?
I have to be honest, I do prefer smaller pens because I have small pens but this kind of crap marketing and tampon-esque “Easy Glide” ad words make me cringe. C’mon people, sell a pocket pen, small pen, slim pen but “Easy Glide”?!?! Give me a break!

This may have been a dining room setting but the large, framed envelope and globe reminded me of a lovely home office. The rough-hewn worktable and white-washed, mid-century office chairs make it even more office-y. Though, I suppose, an office-lover like myself might want to make every room look like a beautiful work space.

I’m sure this isn’t the first time you’ve heard about the recent union between Moleskine and Evernote but I thought I’d go ahead and include info here for those who might not have heard the news.
Moleskine announced an Evernote-specific “smart” notebook last week at the Evernote Trunk Conference. The book includes stickers that, when scanned or photographed and stored on Evernote, will automatically help to tag your page. The embossed covers are really pretty and the grids and/or lines on the page are actually dots to help correct the skew when taking digital snapshots of your pages though I’ll have to see it to believe it.
The 3.5×5.5″ size can be pre-ordered for $24.95 and the 5×8.25″ is $29.95.
More details can be found at Design Taxi.
UPDATE: Our sponsor, Notemaker in Australia will also be stocking the Evernote X Moleskine Smart Notebook. You can pre-order now for delivery the first week of October. Their prices are $29.95AUD for the pocket-sized and $39.95AUD for the larger size. Don’t forget to use the discount code WELLAPPDESK at checkout to receive a 10% discount.
I’ve had a couple questions floating around in my organizationally-obsessed head and I was hoping you fine readers might have some input.
I’d prefer a service that can be accessed via web-based/cloud AND iPhone for both news and article/tidbit collecting.
Please leave your recommendations in the comments here. I’d really appreciate any input as I’ve floated from one option to another without finding one I’ve been really happy using.
Oh, those Ikea Alex flat files reappear, this time used as ends to a long tabletop that serves as a shared desk.

The Saki Collection pen roll (P-661) is a fabric pen roll available in six different traditional Japanese fabrics. The P-666 which is another variety of the same design available in seven solid colors with contrasting ties, if you are not a pattern lover.
The case holds about six pens, two in each of the three divided areas. Thinner pens or pencils might fit up to four in each compartment. Its a good option to keep finer pens from rubbing against one another if you store just one pen per compartment. My pens aren’t so fine that I need to be that cautious. It definitely is a better solution for full length pens, my little Kawecos and Ohto Tasche got sort of lost in the compartment though they did seem quite cozy all tucked in.
The Saki Collection pen roll is a lovely, elegant option at a reasonable price. Is it time to give your pens a classier home?
Available from JetPens for $13
