Over the last two years, Fisher Space Pans have taken on near iconic status with the leaders (and followers) in the trendy nouveau geek crowd.

Having “donated” four space pens to the cosmos through my own absent-minded behaviour, I can say that I have done my bit to help spread the meme.
Paul Fisher, write when you get there.
This is what I found when I dumped out my pen/pencil case this morning. Does anyone out there find this unusual? I don’t.
In the last year, I have used every trendy writing instrument that I have read about. Fisher Space Pens, G2 Gel Pens, Uni-Ball Signos, Uni-Ball Power Tanks, and even the old standby, the fountain pen.
In the last week, I have re-discovered the joy of the pencil. There is something liberating in using something so simple.
It’s old-fashioned, but I love it.
Have you sharpened a pencil today?
I got the UniBall Power Tank in Golden, and it has replaced all of my other pens. A gel pen with a pressurized tank, it lives up to its reputation to write anywhere and on anything.
Effectively, it is a $2.95 Fisher Space Pen. And how can that be wrong?
