| Pencil Bench Curiosa banca diseñada por Boex, hecha de 1600 lapices colocados cada uno dentro de un hoyo, sin fijar. Eso significa que si estan sentados en la banca y derrepente se inspiran, pueden escoger uno de los 1600 lapices, utilizarlo, y regresarlo a su posicion original.

Bench Cookies  I discovered Bench Cookies at the Rockler woodworking store more than a year ago. Billed as "work grippers," they have smooth plastic sides and textured rubber surfaces on top and bottom. You just place them under objects you're sanding, sawing or painting to hold the object in place. There's no clamping or screwing involved. They're amazing. Wood chips and dust have no effect - they do exactly wh [..] |

| Coin-operated park bench in China? PAY & SIT: the private bench (HD) from Fabian Brunsing on Vimeo. In 2008 artist Fabian Brunsing made a coin-operated park bench. When you insert a 0.50 Euro coin, spikes in the bench's seat retract, allowing you to sit. This story from Orange News claims that officials at Yantai Park in Shangdong province, eastern China, have installed similar benches in the park. I doubt it. The photo in the arti [..] |

Others weigh in on new Blackwing pencil  Photo by Michael Leddy I'm not the only person to have received a pre-production version of the Blackwing pencil made by California Cedar. So did several other Faber Eberhard Blackwing 602 enthusiasts, and many of them have already commented about them on their blogs. Michael Leddy of Orange Crate Art said, "Writing with the new Blackwing is a pleasure," but believes (as I do) "the visual appeal o [..] |

First impression of the new Blackwing pencil  In 1998, Eberhard Faber stopped making the Blackwing 602 pencil, and its cult users have been pining for them ever since. An unsharpened Blackwing can sell for $40 on eBay. One person told me his eBay auction for a box of Blackwings went to a "song writer/composer who's worked with Barry Manilow and on feature films, and chooses to only write music using the Blackwing 602." Today I received in the [..] |

The return of the Blackwing pencil  In 2007 I reported that Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602 pencils were selling for $30 each on eBay. The manufacturer stopped making them in 1998 (the retail price at that time was 50 cents). Since then, the price has gone up to about $40 per unsharpened pencil. Here's a good article about the history of the Blackwing and why it was discontinued (in short, it was because of low demand and high machiner [..] |

Machine balances pencil on its tip  [Video Link] Finally! In our demonstration, we address the challenging problem of balancing an arbitrary standard pencil, based solely on visual information. A stereo pair of silicon retinas reports vision events caused by the moving pencil, which is standing on its tip on an actuated table. Then our processing algorithm extracts the pencil position and angle without ever using a "full scene" visu [..] |

Pencil offers dim opinion of modern replacement  Scott Beale at Laughing Squid spotted this wonderful pencil at Zach Hilder's new Etsy store. It's only $3 a go! How about a matching paintbrush for Painter, and a pen for Microsoft Word? [via Nerdcore and Laughing Squid]...

Very tiny people moving pencil and scissors  Michael Leddy of Orange Crate Art spotted this fantastic photo in the LIFE photo archive on Google. Allan Grant took the shot in September 1956 of "movie stagehands pushing a 400-pound pair of gigantic scissors on a dollie next to two men carrying a 21-ft. pencil, just some of the props that created the illusion of a dwindling hero for the movie The Incredible Shrinking Man at Universal Studios.?.
