dscn2407.JPGThis is what I look at all day. And I think everything in this picture is useful to my craft. Counter-clockwise from bottom left: reference books; a writing talisman from my cousin’s travels; external hard drives; cable modem; router; amplifier/sub-woofer; wine coaster/opener; a Virginia white wine and a red wine blend; satellite speaker.

    We’re is the Thomson patented ink well????

    Actually, you may be curious to learn, 50 percent of prototypes failed in beta testing. The other 50 percent never made it past alpha, so really, the Thomson ink well isn’t ready for *my* desk yet.

    Also–and I realize you were in a time crunch to get the ink out out of your shoe, clothes and bed linens as quickly as possible, but do you have any photo documentation of the failure?

    P.S. To J.P. aka my/Dad: I was too embarrassed to tell you, but apparently the type of ink Mark and I use serves as the perfect solvent to that high-pressure, industrial PVC cement that I bought at Home Depot.

    sorry . I never was chemist and have only used water in the pvc pipes. Make it solid and simply drill large holes in the pvc block . Please do not ask where to buy it. A large glass tube bent while hot maybe the answer . Wood with plastic lining may work . Or you could use the ink bottle and be safe . Service master makes or sells a product which can remove a great amount of ink,from clothing . Good luck on the next prototype. Sounds like ball point time .
