The PENguin is Back!: September 2008

The PENguin Blog

The PENguin's Lament

Confession: I miss the blog. I miss doing stuff and then coming back, analysing, discussing and sharing; and then, on occasion, hearing back from someone about their response.

Don't get me wrong I also miss England, Germany, friends and travel. But I miss the blog.

So, at the risk of posting totally banal, really bloggy -"today my cat caught a bird "- sort of stuff I'm gonna try to post something of interest to someone somewhere each week (more often if possible). It may not always be either travel or pen related but I will try to do it at least once a week and make it as interesting as my humble existence permits. So here goes.

As always, let me know how I'm doing. E-mail works best, but I do check for comments.

A Busy Fall

It's been over a month since I've updated this blog. Apart from teaching and the PCA's website and digital library projects, there's getting ready for England in the Spring semester. Yadda, yadda.

For a while it actually looked like I'd get in an update to the site, but it ain't gonna happen. I have listed some notable new pens there if any of you are interested.

In the meantime, I thought some of you might like to see how pens get photographed. Our house is small, by the way, no space for dedicated pen rooms or photo studio, but I make do.
