“Psychedelic Pen,” by aforgave, on Flickr<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, a quick check of the Twitter following my last post showed that the conversation regarding a DS106 Workspace pen<\/strong><\/span> has continued since Todd Conaway<\/strong> (@Todd_Conaway<\/a>) introduced it last night.<\/p>\n

Todd has since put forward an official un-organization chart<\/strong> (distinct from a dis-organization chart, I’m sure), identifying the pen recipients (below the red line).<\/p>\n

While some folks have apparently already started to receive monogrammed pens via email, my experiences with Zazzle.ca<\/a> and other companies specializing in short-run, quick-turnaround real-world merchandise had me thinking about an actual, tangible souvenir from The DS106 Workspace<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although neither Zazzle nor CafePress offer pens, the Internet offers up plenty of such merchandisers who can do small-run personalized pens. Following a few links led me to a company that can do a 5-day turnaround on full-colour ballpoint pens — artwork to fit within a 4.127\u201d x 1.207\u201d imprint area — at about 39 cents per pen in a quantity of 300.  $5 would get you ten pens.  <\/strong>That would be enough for 30 participants.<\/p>\n

Grabbing a nice psychedelic hippy image from the web, I superimposed my DS106 Workplace logo overtop, and voila!<\/p>\n

Anybody want a souvenir pen? Here’s a mock up of what they would look like.<\/p>\n
