My preferred pencils are reusable. As an acknowledged geek, I'm a big mechanical pencil fan, so I just have to go out and buy a container of HB leads from time to time.

There are some good mechanical pencil blogs and websites, like:

Hell. I haven't had any lead in my pencil for years.

I was a geek mechanical pencil fan (Pentel 0.5mm preferred) back when I used coding forms before punching the cards...t'was easier to color inside the lines that way. Those days are over. My usual writing instrument these days is a tactical-finish Space Pen. When I need to write, which isn't often.

Surviving the coding-pad habit is the fact that I use "engineer's calculation pads" (mostly plain front, green gridded back) in the pad binder I carry into meetings to make it look like I'm doing something besides websurfing on my Android phone.

The green grid makes it easier to align my doodles.

I still have some flowcharting templates, too.

Hi guys. How y'all been? :-)
