No ideas but in things

Sometimes I wonder if people will run out of ideas for mobile apps. But then again people have been making pens for ages. And yet, you find new ideas.

A pen that clamps to the notebook, acting as a bookmark. The clamp also gives a stronger hold compared to the usual pen clips. The refill retracts once you open the clamp.

The title of the post is from a William Carlos Williams poem “A Sort of a Song”

Let the snake wait under his weed and the writing be of words, slow and quick, sharp to strike, quiet to wait, sleepless. — through metaphor to reconcile the people and the stones. Compose. (No ideas but in things) Invent! Saxifrage is my flower that splits the rocks.
