Metal Pen Forever

A stainless steel pen, 8cm long. However when you unscrew the top, the 'nib' is a solid piece of metal. There is no ink, yet this pen will write on virtually any type of paper. This is what it looked like when we tried it on a piece of normal paper...

How does it work?

In the Medieval period, artists and scribes often used a metal stylus in order to draw on a specially prepared paper surface. Generally known as Metalpoint, or Silverpoint when the stylus was made of silver, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer and Rembrandt all used this technique.

This pen is a modern version (and do not use silver). The solid metal 'nib' consists of a metal alloy, that leaves a mark on most types of paper. If you use the sort of paper typically used in printers and photocopiers, the pen leaves a mark that looks as if it was made by a pencil. However the line will not smudge, and cannot be rubbed out. Since there is no ink, there is nothing to dry out, so the pen will work just as well in 25 years time as it does today. And of course it never needs sharpening!

Office Gadget Eats CDs and DVDs

Many of us have turned to the almighty paper shredder as a easy measure to keep prying eyes away from sensitive data. Now you can do the same for the data you have stored on your CDs and DVD-ROM disks as well.

Simply feed your disks into the CD/DVD shredder before disposing of them to ensure that the data on that disk will be unrecoverable. While you won't end up with the confetti you find with a paper shredder, your disk surface will be sufficiently scratched and dimpled enough to prevent recovery of its data. The truly paranoid can run the disk through on repeated passes, though we've found that a single pass will suffice.
