I spend a lot of time talking about electronics, but I have to admit that I really appreciate a good pen. No matter how great your smartphone is or how fast your notebook boots up, there is always going to be the need for pens and paper. And if you are going to be using a pen, it might was well be a cool one. A good thing about writing equipment is that you don't have to spend a lot to get quality gear. I recently bought about 15 pens for Jetpens.com and spent around $2-3 each- not super cheap, but we are talking play money, not your rent money. Jetpens is my current favorite because they have a large selection of pens from companies like Uniball and Pilot. A lot of these pens are hard to find in the USA and I think most are Japanese imports. Anyway, if you like Hi-Tec pens or other really small rollerball pens I'd check out them out. Partial list of what I bought:

• HI-TEC-C XS 0.4mm
• HI-TEC-C 0.25mm
• HI-TEC-05
• Pilot G-3 Gel 0.38mm
• Pilot G-2 0.38mm
• Sarasa Zebra Clip 0.4mm
• Pilot Drawing Pen
• Pentel Hybrid Technica 0.8mm
• Uniball Signo White
• Pilot Rexgrip 0.7mm

Out of the bunch I really like the Hi-Tec and Pilot G-2s, though you can get the G-2 almost anywhere. The difference is that Jet has smaller sizes than you typically see in Staples or OfficeMax.
