Ohto Tasche Fountain Pen - thank you CultPens

Have you ever thought about buying a fountain pen, but then gone: “It’s nice - but just a bit too long”?
No, nor have I.
Which makes me wonder what they nice chaps at Ohto were on when they thought up the Tasche Fountain pen . Yes, it’s one of the world’s most compact pens….but why?

Creative Disruption - first the blog, next the book

Uncategorized Comments (0)

I have said less than nothing here over the last few months. The main reason, as anyone who has spoken to me for more than five minutes in the last six months knows, is that I’ve been putting pretty much all my non-work, non-family effort into my book, which will be called Creative Disruption and all being well (ie assuming I finish it) come out early next year.

In an ideal world, of course, I would have been crowdsourcing the whole thing, and probably set it up as a wiki. But frankly, I’ve been locking myself away whenever I can in a very non-collaborative way. Anyway, partly to keep the pressure up on myself, I’ve started a blog about the book - CreativeDisruption.net

I’m going through a bit of a Wordle phase at the moment. And just putting together a presentation to take round the business. This is my ‘Agenda’ wordle slide…anything missing?

Edwin Moses is here at DLD, he was talking on the panel about philanthrocapitalism and his work at the Laureus Sporting Academy.

Anyway, I’m not a massive athletics fan - but he is *such* an icon, I was just reduced to 100% fan, and had to go and grab his autograph. Something I don’t think I’d done for decades.

This was a particularly neat thing to put in the paper today, I thought. [Yes, I know others have done similar things], comparing Obama vs Lincoln, Roosevelt and Bush.

Of course I had to then rush out and do one for this blog (yes, a bit late, I know).  Only to be reminded of my  shockingly leaden prose. ‘Great…like…just…perhaps..’
