Pens that Light Up 19th August, 2008
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.

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):

In fact, I like it so much that I decided it's only fair to highlight the schwag I score then give a plug to the people who provide schwag to me. So if you're looking for some nice publicity (or free reputation management) and want to make someone smile, 

Tamar, that Google pen I sent is like the gift that keeps on coming….One day you will be able to retire on your schwag you know…
Oh, I just started following you on twitter
