Gee shares how a one-person machine shop for automobiles (Karas Kustoms) turned into a fountain pen brand called Karas Pen Co. Tom and I ask Gee about how she went from the pharmaceutical industry to the pen industry and how her life changed for the better because of fountain pens. We talk about the designs of the heavy metal Karas pens, the antimicrobial benefits of writing with a copper pen, and the perks to joining the Karas Pen Club. You can find an amazing price on their discontinued Render K fountain pens mentioned in this episode on the Karas website here - https://karaskustoms.com/ Drop Gee a line and let her know that the Pentertainment Podcast sent you.

Earlier this week I put up an image on Instagram with the caption “Time for a reboot.” It's basically a “glitchy” version of my signature logo that I use as my avatar on Instagram and Twitter. I posted it because I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how I use—or in some cases misuse—social media and I've come to the conclusion that now is a great time to redefine what I want to get from and what I want to bring to social media.Subscribe: iTunes | Pocket Casts | Overcast | RSSA fantastic article was recommended to me by Hugh Brownstone from Three Blind Men and an Elephant, who I had the pleasure of speaking to recently. It's called The Amateur Spirit by Daniel Boorstin and if you'll just indulge me, I'd like to share a quote that goes “I have observed that the world has suffered far less from ignorance than from pretensions to knowledge. It is not skeptics or explorers but fanatics and ideologues who menace decency and progress. No agnostic ever burned anyone at the stake or tortured a pagan, a heretic, or an unbeliever.”Also, if you love super cool fountain pens, or know someone who does (hint, hint) check out Karas Kustoms. They make a line of pens called Stonewashed that feature anodized barrels that look like they've been at the bottom of a backpack or the glove compartment of an old truck for years—and I mean that as a compliment. The orange barrel with the tumbled aluminum grip is particularly lovely.And I finally got to see Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse and all I can say is wow. I am typically not a superhero/comic book movie person, but this flick was fantastic. If it's still in the theater where you live, go see it.Music in this episode: The Wrong Way (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0

We've been getting a lot of questions about the Karas Kustoms titanium nibs. It was announced in early-2016 that these nibs would be coming out. Made by Bock in Germany, I've actually seen these nibs on a few other pen models, but this is really the first time we've had them available as a separate nib unit. So I wanted to answer some of the questions you may have.
