RSS Feeds
Hello! Just a quick note about RSS feeds now that I have separated out the writing side of my blog from the knitting. Based on a comment I received, it seems like if you were already subscribed to the RSS feed for the blog, nothing should change. You will continue to be notified whenever I make a blog post to the writing side of the site. (By the way, I don't use RSS stuff, so I'm kinda winging it here and if I'm describing things incorrectly, let me know.) However, if you are interested in the knitting and want to get updates for that, you will have to subscribe to it separately and the url for that is as follows: http://thepurlbug.com/knitting/?format=rss
I hope that helps? Like I said, it's not really something I delve into because I just don't get it. I manage the blogs I follow by saving them all to a tab on my browser and checking in periodically when I'm bored. Just goes to show that not all scientists are very computer-savvy...
Pen Talk #13 - A rant and an unboxing
Gift Guide for the Write Curious
Welcome to my 2015 gift guide! This is meant for that person in your life who has taken a mild interest into your writing instrument/stationary hobby, but it seems like they might need that extra push to explore it a bit themselves. Most of the things I talk about are under $20 and can be mixed and matched to give complete "packages" up to any price point you desire.
Here are links to products that I mention in the video (none of these are affiliate or sponsored links - I recommend certain retailers because I prefer them to faceless, money-grubbing entities like Amazon):
Pens
- Pilot Metropolitan, via Jetpens or Goulet Pens
- Pilot Kakuno, via Jetpens
- Kaweco Sport, via Jetpens or Goulet Pens
- Pilot Juice, via Jetpens
- Zebra Sarasa Clip, via Jetpens
Pencils

I hope this was helpful! If you are reading this in the future (you crazy time-traveller, you) and the links are broken, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix the problems.
It's December, and I'm not dead!
Hello! Little update as to what's been going on with me and why I disappeared for a few weeks.
