Jericho: Cool Pen!

A few months back, I was playing around with my four color Bic pen. I love that pen. But, I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the four chosen colors. Kinda boring, they are. Red, Blue, Green and Black. I use the Black all the time. The other three only get used if I'm doodling or making a point in my notes.

I have another four color pen, Foohy brand, made for the kid market. It has Lime Green, Magenta, Teal and Purple. Again, I use the Purple a bunch, but not the other colors.

So, what occurred to me was this: wouldn't it be cool if you could buy a pen that allowed you to add and remove colors?

Yup, someone has already done it. Pilot sells a pen in Japan under their HI-TEC-C brand called the Coleto. Check this out! It's an empty pen that you can fill with three colors. Or one color! Or whatever! They have like 10 colors. You can swap them on the fly if you wish. They also have three widths; .05, .04 and .03. You could have a pen, that was one color, but three different widths! It's insane!

I found the pen at a local store that carries Japanese pens, pencils and stationary. I made mine Black, Blue and Purple, all .03. Very cool! The only thing that would make it better would be if the barrel held four pens! The pen doesn't feel as sturdy as my Bic, but, the Bic is a Mac truck - this is an art-car!
