Some fine pencil sites

Hello! It's been a while since I've posted here -- a lack of new products to review, and a lack of time has kept me from engaging all you loyal PT.info readers.

But enough about that. I want to share with you a couple of pencil blogs out there that I have discovered within the last few days.

The Reciprocal Crap Exchange isn't a pencil blog, per se, but one of the bloggers who goes by the name Murderface is pencil-crazy like the rest of us. A quick warning, though, there is some not-so-PG-rated language, so proceed at your own risk. Here's the link. Check out the post about the California Republic Prospectors. It's quite good, and extremely funny, too. Murderface seems quite taken with the Shield, which isn't my favorite of the pencil point protectors. But everyone has their favorites. I myself like this one the best, but I can see where others may dislike it.

From the Crap Exchange, I found an amazing dedicated pencil blog, which makes me shake my head in wonderment that I've never run acrossed it before! It's Pencil Talk (dot) org, and it is really awesome. I've started to work my way through the archives, and I bow to the editor. I don't know what resources (s)he has at his/her disposal, but the content is great. Here's the link.

Hey, while I have your attention, this is a call for entries! I would love to keep this blog updated regularly, but I need your help! Email me if you run across any interesting or particular good (or bad) pencil things! I'd love to post what you have to say, or start a dialog with our readers about it! Are you looking for a pencil and don't know where to start? Again, let me know!

Thanks for the mention. For a compact, your fave point protector doesn't look so bad, but I'll stick with my Shield for now. We'll see about a review of yours once I get through everything else on my desk, on order, and that I'll be purchasing on my upcoming trip to Japan.

Glad I could turn you on to Pencil Talk, it's in my regular rotation, and it's great.
