Pen Posse black ink shoot out results and pics of Gale's stationery store

[Jerome Tarshis]

I think some clarification is needed. Some of the inks were reflective and others dull. I think we need to define the experiment and get absorbance and reflectance measurements...

Whose bringing the spectrometer?

Guess I see a Pen Posse in Palo Alto soon...

I saw this at the time but was not alive to the implications. A Pen Posse meeting in the right rooms in Palo Alto should have access to all kinds of possibilities unknown to civilians. Spectrometer, heck. What is the effect on various black inks of being bombarded with semi-imaginary particles in a linear accelerator? With the facilities of Stanford enlisted to help us, we could do things even the Red Queen would consider arbitrary.
