I like to write things. I gather bits of information and write them down. I usually don't do anything with them, but it is nice to have my ideas written down. I have found things that I have written and was impressed with my own dang self. But paper gets lost and some things such as sketches of ideas would be nice to save in some other way. I also spent some time as a secretary for an organization. I would write as fast as my little hands would allow me, but always felt I was missing something or that I couldn't participate fully in the meeting because I was taking notes.



I had the Fly Fusion pen, and it was great, but it was really marketed heavily to the teen and tween world. I drew and wrote stuff in it, but felt really goofy with a huge ass pen in my hand. My daughter also has one and it works wonderfully for her. Hers is also black and sleek looking, mine was grey and reminded me of a pen you might see on the Flintstones. I uploaded files and sketches on it and liked it enough. I just needed something a little sleeker.



Then came the Pulse Pen. It is the best thing since.... well, ever.



It records not only your writing, but audio. But wait! It also links your writing with the audio so if your professor says "stinky cheese has great nutritional value" and all you wrote was "stinky cheese" you can tap your pen on "stinky cheese" and hear all he/she said about stinky cheese. Fantastic.



My daughter sang "ABC" and I drew while she sang.

Here it is...

How cool was that?

My child can't sing, I know. But she sounds so sweet.

You can hear my sister in the background being an ass as usual. They were about 5 feet or so away from me, but thier voices were very clear. But it also comes with headphones with built in microphones to pick up audio in autitoriums.

You do need special paper to use the pen, but it is very reasonably priced and you have a few varieties of paper to choose from. They have one subject notebooks, three subject notebooks, moleskin journals, little notepads and Paperblank notepads. You can also print the paper off of the site too.

So I wrap up this post fully excited to write down my DeeDeeRikki ideas. See you later!

Update!

I was watching the Big Bang Theory and one of the characters on the show was using the Pulse pen and I recognized the paper too. I nearly pee'd my pants. The show is about a bunch of geeks (being a geek is a good thing) who work at a university and live together. That is genius product placement.
