DealBITS Drawing: Sunatori.com Pen
----------------------------------

And now for something completely different! Long-time TidBITS
reader Simon Sunatori recently contacted us about doing a DealBITS
drawing for a new pen he'd invented and patented, and while it
wasn't Mac-related (other than coming in colors reminiscent of
the original iPod mini), I was sufficiently intrigued to check
it out. I have to admit, it's neat, in a geeky sort of way.
The pen hangs from a pendant you wear around your neck, and the
unusual part is that the pen and pendant contain relatively strong
magnets. When attached, the magnets retract the pen tip; when
detached, the pen tip drops down instantly and is ready for
writing. The silver pendant contains a simple digital clock and
is sufficiently polished on the other side to act as a mirror,
helpful if you should ever need to focus the sun's rays to burn
yourself out of captivity. Tristan and I do our family's weekly
grocery shopping at the local GreenStar Cooperative Market,
where we have to write down a variety of bulk product and produce
codes to read to the ca****er, and Simon's pen is by far the most
convenient writing implement I've found for that task. No caps to
lose, no buttons to click, no strings to tangle - it just works.
