Day Twenty: A Whistle Pen

7/1/13, 4:19 PM PDT

Oh boy, day twenty. Summer only gets faster from here on out.

Watched "The Call" this morning since it was on TV. It's those kinds of movies that make me so thankful I'm not a white blonde teenage girl. I'm so lucky, you know that?

Anyway, kind of a late entry since I've been pretty deep into writing this script. Transitioning from the rough outline on a word document to actual script format. Expect it to be done by the end of this week.



Same day, 6:23 PM PDT

Played a bit of Minecraft 1.6.1 today since it just updated. And I do mean a bit, not the entire day like the last few times. We lynched a pig. It was awesome.

Now, I'm writing my spy script again, back in a bit!


Same day, 11:24 PM PDT

Wrote a lot, but also took a bit of a break for Minecraft again. Figured out how Redstone comparators and daylight sensors work, which I'm very proud of since I've figured out how to build lights that only turn on at night as well as more complicated donation booths to unlock doors.

Also, repaired the pen for my old ideas notebook after a year or so. I've missed you, RhinoBook.

"I missed you too, man."

While looking for pen cartridges to replace my old one, I found this... thing.

Pen... Whistle?

...What?

It looks like a pen with a built-in whistle? And the... Diet Coke label? I don't know what their PR was thinking, but I guess it worked because I've been looking at it for awhile now...

And the whistle doesn't even work. Based on the shape of the labium (the slicey-whistley hole part), I should be blowing into the end opposite of the writing tip, but there's a pocket clip in the way and it won't come off. I haven't tried tearing it off exactly, but I'm scared to break the tip off. But I have applied a decent amount of pressure and it doesn't come off, so I'm guessing it's not intended to be removed.

Weird.





RFotD: Aspartame, the artificial chemical in Diet Coke had previously been thought to cause cancer. This is false.

SGAT: Wrote a lot of my script.
