Carrying a little extra in that middle M region
I enter this week with an eclectic six-pen currently inked. Nib size drives my selection. The color, size and weight of each pen were only secondary considerations.
The intention is to explore three distinct kinds of M nibs. A wet and round Jowo M (TWSBI) — the “traditional.” A stingy, disciplined Sailor MF — the “keep it down up there.” And a ground Naginata-togi (Nakaya) — the “Casanova.”
Wahoo! I made it to anniversary two
This week is the second anniversary of the mnmlscholar. This blog is a pathway for sharing how I use my analog and digital tools to find joy in my writing and teaching. My way of choosing joy. It’s a labor of love — and necessity for my workflow.
We are where we’ve been, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On my philosophical wanderings through how our histories shape what we value now. We are where we’ve been. Biography is the journey to what we value now. And we have no choice but to bring our histories with us. Worn on our sleeves, in our heads, and in our selves. (Philosophical much?)
Sheen with purpose and ink mullets
This weekly palette’s sheening inks make for easy scanning while working the room during lectures. Thank you, Sabimidori and Aurora Borealis. Copper Noir lends a complimentary orange for highlighting key points and noting housekeeping items to review with my students. Inks with purpose.
