On the topic of pens, that’s always something the old businessfolk seem to consider an absolute necessity. Since I do just about everything over the computer but occasionally sign receipts and the like, I like pens but they’re not as handy as they used to be. Regardless, some are aesthetically pleasing and others are just purely functional. When it comes to pens, you really can’t have too many.

One of the cooler pens that I own is the light-up pen that I have from Landing Page Optimization firm Widemile:

On a similar note, thanks to Ty Downing, I posted about an earlier light-up pen that actually has Google written all over it. Here’s the better picture (once again, for nostalgia’s sake):

At South by Southwest, I got yet another blue light-up pen (which is great, because blue is my favorite color). This one came from film production site SAGIndie:

Are these all the light-up pens that I have? Not even close. However, this is all I seem to have photographs of at the moment. There will be more!

Ever get annoyed that you have the standard piece of luggage but don’t have a way to distinguish it from the crowd of suitcases that get thrown onto the baggage terminal at the airport? Well, search marketing group Efficient Frontier address that problem with a fluorescent orange luggage handle that you can use again and again (it’s got Velcro, baby) on your suitcases when you travel.

Unfortunately, at a later event, I discovered that Efficient Frontier did without their luggage thingamabobs after all, and now they’re sticking to pens:

I suggest that you reconsider, guys, since the luggage holder actually comes in rather handy; I don’t need a red ribbon when I go to the baggage claim (and yes, the husband and I have used the orange thingies on more than one occasion!)

Remember being a kid and finding those sticky slimy things that you’d throw against the wall (and watch as the residue stuck to it while the toy’s adhesiveness got less and less sticky?) Well, I have one! Yay!

Thanks to Li Evans of blog Search Marketing Gurus, I have a sticky guy that is reminiscent of my childhood when I got in trouble for throwing these things against the wallpaper.

A suggestion for all of you who plan on using this: windows are best.

As you probably know, I like kosher candy (and yes, it’s the only candy I’ll eat). Bulk candy distributor Oh! Nuts came around again and sent some favorites as well as some new tasty delights:

The package contained assorted jelly beans (which are really good and rival Jelly Belly from what I hear), fiery hot jalapeno pistachios, and Wasabi blast mix. The stuff there is REALLY good and I highly recommend buying your candies from them in the future.
