More New Items

The supply room received some new items in the mail this past week. On the left is a small Scan Card notebook with extra cards. Thanks to Patrick over at Wordsinwatercolors.blogspot.com. He is another scan cards user. There are so few of us around. On the right is a BIC Easy Clic Fountain Pen. As with so many neat items this one is not sold here in the USA. I will be opening this item up and using it. Again I will have to look overseas to get refills. Now a update on the Pentel Smash pen and pencil set I posted on 26 Aug. The B1000 ball point is not sold here in the US so I had to look for refills. I found one the fits at Hobby Lobby stores. Item number 423-02BK will fit. The Pentel Smash Ball Point uses a multi pen refill. For store locations go to www.hobbylobby.comPosted by Picasa

    Can you give us some background on what a scan card notebook is used for? I believe I have used them before, but mine didn't look similiar to yours at all. What's the 411?

    Hello, The Words in Watercolor URL is kind of weird thanks to blogger... however the correct url is http://wordsinwatercolor.blogspot.com/

    I also have used the scancard system and talk about it a little bit over at my blog: http://zooboingreview.blogspot.com/search?q=scancard

    The scancard system is really cool. just write down a through and file it in the sleeve. When tasks get done, just pull the card out, flip it around and you now have a 'blank' card to write a new task on. The real advantage of the system is the ease of reorganizing or grouping tasks together. The scancard system is fast and easy... and unfortunately, bankrupt.

    Ah well. I hope a programmer takes up the system and makes an electronic task manager as easy to use as the paper scancard system. Until then... I'm using scancard til it breaks.

    Thanks for correcting me on the site. I agree on the scan card system, it is a good one. I use my system for projects. It works.

    I have a bunch of scan cards and a couple different scan card 'jackets/folders'. I don't use them consistently but now and then. It was a good idea.
