Here’s this week’s list of things to check out. If there’s a theme this weekend, I guess it would be creativity and generativity. These are tools for self expression:
- Fisher Bullet Space Pen: I purchased this space pen probably 12 to 14 years ago and it’s still my favorite; I have a silver one as well, and another black one as a spare, but this one still works, so I continue to use it. I will go spells preferring my Lamy Safari fountain pen (another post) or other disposables, but I always find the Bullet ready and waiting for me. It writes smoothly and feels great in hand. The story is worth a read.
- ImageGlass: ImageGlass is a great ImageViewer that can also perform some basic editing and photo manipulation. I love how it shows thumbnails along the bottom of the application window when you open a file in a folder full of images.
-
Affinity Photo: Affinity Photo is a Photoshop competitor that comes in at a much more competitive price. The licenses are good across iOS, Mac, and Windows, and they’re having a sick six-month free trial right now. Worth it if you like to tinker with your photos, or like to have a fully featured graphic editor on your device when the defaults won’t cut it.
