The Pen Of Doom

If anyone else has a pen fetish like I do, you need to go and make yourselves one of these.
It’s essentially a $200 Monteblanc (not two words) pen — which is the pen to have — but it only costs like $15 to make. The short version of the story is that you just put the expensive, high-class ink into an inexpensive pen (namely a G2). So now you have the writing quality of the $200 masterpiece (since it’s about the ink more than anything), and you get it for less than $20.
Oh, by the way, it works. I did it just a few minutes ago and it’s über-sick. I went with the fine tip black ink, and will be going to get some of the standard black refills later. If you like pens, this is a must-do project. It took me all of 5 minutes to make the modification.
