When Poppin suggested that they send me some of their Jumbo Mobile Memos in the hunt for the better-grade-of-sticky-note, I was thinking “jumbo” meant bigger than the standard 3×3″ square. You know, maybe 4×4″? Imagine my surprise when I got these. Here’ s picture with a regular, rather diminutive sticky note and the Jumbo Mobile…

Review: Edelstein Aventurine Ink (and Flex Nib Dip Pens)
The very sudden acquisition of this ink can be entirely blamed on the folks over on App.net. We got to talking about green ink and voila! this ink ended up in my collection.

It’s an online office supply shop that launched just one year ago and features all those standard office staples (like staplers, pens, notebooks and desk accessories) in simple plastics and coordinating colors. They are even stocking desk chairs, tables and desks and filing cabinets. The best thing about Poppin is,…
