I might just be out of touch (won't be the first time)but I just learned of this site based in Great Britain.

 

I wasn't initially impressed with it, but now that I understand the site it is interesting. I was looking for the Delta MOMO LE FP review, and although google pointed me to it, I couldn't find it in the actual review section on the site. I miss the old Stylophiles reviews, and these are similar.

 

The thing to do is to look at the tags on the right side of the page. If you click on Delta, or Franklin Christoph, you find everything they have for that.

 

 

What I found especially interesting is the amount of TWSBI information they had. Here is the link for the TWSBI URL. It shows a number of things I haven't seen anywhere else;

Some of the highlights:

 

-An 850, a metal version of the normal TWSBI.

-The Micarta version, which is something I really want to get.

-Changes to the Ink bottle.

-A retractable version that is very similar to the Pilot/Namiki Vanishing Point.

Not everything is coming from the states

This side has a great Delta Dolce Vita Review.

I agree. In fact, their review style is just what I like to see; very in depth information.

I'm surprised that you say the site is U.K.-based. The two guys who do the FPGeeks podcast, Eric and Dan, are definitely American.

I am not sure why I thought that, but no matter; it is a first class site, and it is growing on me day by day...

Thanks for posting. I meant to check out their podcasts and forgot about it. Downloading them now.

I added them to my RSS feeds after reading one of their TWSBI preview articles.

Is there any other place with as much TWSBI info???

[Spector]

the blog is great but it seems like the forums are kind of dead...

They are Americans for sure. Dan lives across town from me! Hoping to have dinner with he and his lovely wife tomorrow evening so I can give him his Christmas present. (We'll see if he's paying attention to this thread or not...)

 

Hey Dan, I got (made) you a set of really cool Pelikan drink coasters for your coffee table!

Hey everyone, thanks for all the comments!

 

Just to let you know, we've started a new podcast called Geek of the Week and our first guest was Brian Goulet. I'm pretty sure he covers everything you ever wanted to know about him in this nearly 3 hour interview!

Have a listen and tell us what you think.

These guys are great! I'm really enjoying them. Great sense of humor. Fabulous information. Very worthwhile.

I guess I have been out of the loop for a while without even knowing it haha...

 

Thanks for the heads up!!

Bruce, highlight the rest of that line (which appears to be blank) and you'll see the answer.

Only #3?! Who else are we competing with and what do we have to do to get to #1?

I'm going to guess here and the unmentioned hack amateur newbie's board.

I've got FPGeek on my Plex and FlipBoard first pages (on my Ipad). They are rss aggregators. Love reading it (the blog).

[Lince]

The blog and the podcasts are great and complementary.

I heard all 6 podcasts one day after the other and now I have to wait a week to listen to new ones.

The Geek of the week promises to be excellent.
