New video on Jason’s Pen Journey today: March 2026 Currently Inked.
I recorded this at the start of the month but ran into some audio gremlins during editing. Adobe’s audio tools helped rescue it enough to share.
In the video I walk through 26 fountain pens currently inked, along with the inks paired with each one.
Watch here:

The site’s been quiet for a few weeks — but life hasn’t.
Work offsite → strep throat → annual guys’ poker weekend (new location this year) → company kickoff in Vegas → long drive home → back to routine.
I wrote about the whole stretch here:

Sometimes motion is the story.

This week’s Short Stack:
• collaborative music
• creative shortcuts
• tension on screen

Not a recap. Just what lingered long enough to write down.

Fifty years. Still figuring stuff out — and maybe that’s okay.
A little history, a little perspective, and a few moments that still stick with me.

This week’s Short Stack is up, and it's about catching up. Catching up after the winter break, some of the critically-acclaimed films of 2025, and our favorite medical drama.
Just the bits that felt worth pocketing before the week slipped away.

This week’s Short Stack is up, and it's all about books.
Comic book postcards. A New Year's Eve visit to the book store. Keeping the MacBook lid closed. And closing the literal book on 2025.
Just the bits that felt worth pocketing before the week slipped away.

@gene_o Thank you! I'm really looking forward to inking it up and writing with it 😁
I'm getting a jump start on 2026 by setting up my planner for the year. Until 2025, I'd always been frustrated with my planning system fizzling out for the year as quickly as you stop going to the gym 😉
Then this past year, I figured out my own personal planner system that WORKED for me, and now I'm sharing how I set up my 2026 planner.

This week’s Short Stack is up.
Blood donation. Holiday cards. Reading goals. And applesauce > everything else.
Just the bits that felt worth pocketing before the week slipped away.

No one pointed out that I put “Not the last video of 2026” in the caption 🤪
Not the last video of 2026, but we're nearing the conclusion of the year 😎

This week’s Short Stack is up. 🥞
Comfort movies, public libraries doing what they do best, small personal wins, and the slow turn toward the end of the year.
Just a few moments worth keeping.

I’ve been working on a short story for the Tough Guy Book Club competition this fall — and today I’m finally sharing it.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes story of how Hopeless came to be.
(And thank you, truly, for reading.)
While my flight connection through Chicago was delayed last month, I made the most of it by visiting Atlas Stationers!
