It is a warm night after a beautiful sunny day on Nerd Beach, and as we walk across the sand I spy a rare Sea Turtle that has came up on shore. I am afraid to make a sound, but the person I am with, unaccustomed to the Beach as I am, does not see it. Not wanting to speak and possibly scare off the turtle, I fish in my pocket for the handy Message Pen, enter a quick message and show it to my friend, “Sea Turtle” while pointing. We both watch the spectacle for a moment before it goes back out to sea, happy to see a rare moment. God thing I had my Message Pen.
As gadgets go most of us have probably seen the clocks and other devices that feature a spinning line of LEDs delivering a message. Now that same technique has been shrunk down to fit on the head of a pen. Brando now has the LED Message Pen, which will set you back about $15. You can display your own message up to 20 characters. It would be nice if it had a keyboard for faster entry, but then I guess it would be a very clumsy pen.
Aloha from the Beach,
greg
