Fifty thousand satisfied customers.
I haven't had chance to update Ink Quest this week, dear readers, as I've been buried beneath mountains of work. A full post about the glory of a drop of ink dangling from the end of a pen will follow, I hope, within the next few days.
But while I've been neglecting my duties at the helm of the good ship Penquod, the pages of this blog have received visitor number 50,000. A small drop in the ocean that is the internet, of course, but I like to think that each person whose eyes have found their way to Ink Quest has gone away filled with the spirit of ink. And misanthropy.
While you're waiting for the next thrilling inkstalment, you may wish to consider the two following items:
1. A fascinating response to my recent post about the writing instruments used by Roland Barthes in his Carnets du voyage en Chine.
2. A truly bizarre piece of plagiarism, in which a post from this very blog has somehow been merged with dubious adverts for bizarre items.
Perhaps I should ask the thief responsible for the second item if s/he could keep Ink Quest going while I'm busy. The list of blogs mentioned in his/her profile suggests that there is no end to his/her talent.
To the next fifty thousand! Enc(o)re un effort!
Ink in use today: Diamine Chocolate Brown.
