Dim in Light, but Not in Wit

Rather simple project for this evening. Using a potentiometer, I designed a circuit that allows for the red LED to be dimmed. More to come.

    Wow! Nothing dim about this project, aside from the bulb.

Pentel Smash: A Smash Hit

-
Image
 The Pentel Smash is a very iconic pencil in the collector world. With loads of colors, most being limited editions (the color I have is a limited run, known as the Katakana Silver/Sky Blue model), the Smash's reputation precedes it. It is pretty bleak in terms of features, but I keep coming back to it day after day. The most notable design feature of the Smash is the ribbed rubber cap. It is designed so that when you press it to knock the lead, the rubber scrunches up. It is so fun to use, and satisfying since the bottom of the knock has a very robust click. The grip section is another strong point. On the first layer, there is a ring of black rubber that protrudes through the second layer, a smooth metal sleeve that forms a cone at one end for the lead sleeve. The grid of rubber squares is extremely comfortable and I have no complaints as of yet. The Pentel Smash also has a lead grade indicator, ranging from 4H, 3H, 2H, H, F, B, and 2B. I t also has a small pocket clip, the same ...

Ohto Super ProMecha: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

  Ohto Super ProMecha Review Of all the pencils I have reviewed, the Ohto Super ProMecha takes the cake for being the most interesting. Keep in mind, “interesting” and “nicest to use” are not mutually exclusive. This pencil certainly has its quirks and a few clever tricks up its sleeve, but it is far from comfortable. It has a fully retractable lead sleeve, lead grade indicator, and a solid aluminum body, as well as a nice eraser. With all that aside, let's get down to the nitty-gritty, no pun intended. The main feature of the ProMecha that sets it apart is the ability to change how much lead comes out when you click the button. This feature is very neat, and I found myself fidgeting with it while writing. There is a dial on the barrel that lengthens and shortens the travel between the bottom of the cap and the body to get this level of control. One issue I personally have is that the hole in the body that is used to access this dial is very sharp, and it rests right in between...

Tombow Mono-Graph Zero Review

-
Image
 As some of you may know, Tombow recently discontinued the Mono Graph Zero line. This is unfortunate, as the Mono Zero has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It is a pretty run-of-the-mill drafting pencil, but it falls more towards the general use market, as it lacks a retractable sleeve and hardness indicator. With that being said, the Mono Graph Zero is still one of my favorite pencils. The knurling isn't too rough, and it strikes the perfect balance between grippy and smooth. As an added bonus, it has a twist-extendable eraser. It's pretty small, but good for precise lines. It uses an interesting cartridge thing, but I think you can buy extra eraser refills without replacing the whole apparatus. Overall, the Tombow Mono Graph Zero is a nice pen cil for the price(~$9). It lacks some typically desired features, but is very comfortable. If you are interested in picking one of these up, there are still a few left on Amazon . As always, thanks for reading. Stay sharp! I wil...
