    Palomino Blackwing Volumes Vol 205 Review



    (Sarah Read is an author, editor, yarn artist, and pen/paper/ink addict. You can find more about her at her website  and on  Twitter.)

    It's funny how widely stationery opinions can range. I've heard several people (Brad included!) say that Volume 205 of the Palomino Blackwing Volumes is their least favorite so far, but for me it was the first one where I said, "Okay, fine, I will spend $25 on a box of pencils because I have to have those". And I have not been disappointed at all.



    Like all the Blackwing Volumes, these are made from sustainable, responsibly-sourced California cedar. They smell delightful. This edition is designed to resemble the stone jade, both white and green--with six of each color in the box. The number 205 is the molecular weight of Jadeite, the most valuable variety of jade. The swirling colors remind me of the marbled papers inside old books, and I find the colors light and relaxing. I've found myself staring at the pencil when I should be writing with it. The brand is printed in gold, and there is a gold ferule with a black replaceable eraser.



    This edition uses the firm lead core, the same as the one used in the 602. While it is definitely firm, it feels buttery smooth to write with, and I found it created a solid dark line, and shaded nicely. I scribbled for quite some time trying to see how long it would retain its point, and was very impressed. I'm certainly going to get my money's worth from this box of pencils, because they may outlast me. It will be a while before I have to sharpen this pencil.


    The eraser worked okay--it took up most of the graphite, though it did leave a bit of shadow behind. If I were using these for sketching, I'd use a different eraser. But for writing, which I think the firm point is well-suited to, the eraser works well enough.


    I confess, I am not a pencil expert--I have not tried all of the Blackwing editions, so I can't even say for sure if I have a favorite. So it's rather likely that those who don't care for this edition have a reason that is beyond my understanding. But if that's the case, ignorance is bliss, and I am very happy with these lovely pencils. If I didn't think that the ones I have were going to last me forever, I'd stock up on backup boxes.

    I'd love to hear what your favorite Volumes edition has been, and why. This one has me wanting to dabble more in the graphite world.

    Typo A5 Buffalo Journal


    The second notebook I received from Andrew that hadn’t been reviewed is the A5 Buffalo Journal from Typo.


    Once I’d started to write in this journal, it became a quick favourite. The paper contained inside the PU leather book is extremely smooth and easy to write on. It’s not the thickest I’ve had, though. So perhaps stick to your ballpoint pen in this one. I did write with a fountain pen, just for the example, but when I flipped the page I saw that the ink did run through.

    The size of this journal is not too small, but not too big. A5 is perfect for use at home, at work or even on your travels. There’s also a built-in inner pocket in the back of the journal which is super handy if you need to keep any loose notes or paper with you. This journal contains 176 lined pages, which is an excellent amount if you ask me. I prefer notebooks with around the 200 mark, just because I believe that the feel of a thick notebook is much better than one with only 50 pages.



    As this journal is from around the 2012 year mark, Typo has updated their Buffalo journals. You can choose from an array of colours, including pink, turquoise, grey glitter and tan. Another perk is that it has elastic closure, lay-flat pages and a bookmark ribbon.



    Being at only $14.95 from Typo’s online store, it’s a quality journal that will have you writing for a long time. Typo also has a lot of stores across Australia, so if you’re in need of a new journal, don’t hesitate to buy yourself this one.

    Microsoft Surface Pro 3



    Students are constantly typing documents, writing notes, studying instructor’s Powerpoint presentations, answering emails, and bouncing around campus. That’s why the Surface Pro 3 is the best tablet for college. It’s sturdy enough to lug around in your backpack and has the specs of a high-end laptop. And after getting used to its touchpad-equipped keyboard cover, I often found myself treating it like one.

    I’m still a sucker for the ol’ pencil and pad, but the Pro 3’s pen technology is the most natural I’ve ever felt. It’s really good. Empowered with Microsoft OneNote, a flexible built-in kickstand and crisp 12-inch display, the Surface Pro 3 is the finest tablet a student can own — especially if they prefer handwritten notes

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S || The best tablet for business


    The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a premium 8-inch tablet built for business. It’s fast, extremely thin, and its stunning AMOLED display is the best on the market. The resolution is a bit “taller” than normal, but that’s OK; the extra room allows for more features on the keyboard (including left-right directional keys!). That said, it was my go-to device for responding to emails.

    Hardware aside, there are two main reasons it’s the top pick for businesspeople. First off, it has an intuitive file management hub that corrals data from both local storage and cloud services like DropBox — in other words, it’s crazy easy to locate all your stuff. And thanks to its fingerprint reader, those files and documents are safe behind a wall of biometric security. Secondly, it supports multitasking windows, which means you can use two apps simultaneously.

    Other tablets to consider || The best tablet for kids




    Parents are looking for three main things in a tablet for their children: durability, affordability, and a generous selection of educational apps. I give the nabi DreamTab HD8 a thumbs up in each respect: It’s under $200, well-built, and brimming with free content from DreamWorks — though some users actually complained about the amount of free Shrek and Kung Fu Panda content by saying it felt redundant and pushy. Otherwise, the slate averages 4.3 stars on BestBuy.com, and most of the comments I read praised its Dream Pro Studio drawing application and repertoire of creative software.

    Despite being a “child’s tablet,” the HD8 has the display and processing power of an upper mid-range device — it’s powerful enough to placate both toddlers and preteens. Additionally, it comes with several intuitive parental controls like Chore List, a feature that manages your child’s playtime based on completed chores. Neat, right? Another solid sub-$200 option is the Amazon Fire HD 6 Kids Edition: it performs exceptionally well and features its own “kids mode” called Amazon FreeTime that’s full of exclusive content.
