== Q&A Episode Category name ==
Should we make the Q&A tags podcast specific?, e.g. TPA Q&A Episode instead of Q&A Episode? If so [[User:PencilBot|PencilBot]] can rename all the category tags. --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 14:41, 20 April 2017 (CEST)

That sounds like a good idea! [[User:Aykray|Aykray]] ([[User talk:Aykray|talk]]) 17:02, 20 April 2017 (CEST)

:Great, I'll do that. --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 22:40, 20 April 2017 (CEST)

== Bradandmyke.png ==

When I uploaded [[:File:Bradandmyke.png|Bradandmyke.png]] I picked the 'unknown' license option. As it is your picture could you have a look at the licenses available at [[MediaWiki:Licenses]] and see whether one of those apply to your picture and change [[:File:Bradandmyke.png|Bradandmyke.png]] accordingly? --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 22:40, 20 April 2017 (CEST)

== Updates ==

Updates to the Main Page are looking nice! [[User:Sgtstretch|Sgtstretch]] ([[User talk:Sgtstretch|talk]]) 14:46, 18 April 2017 (CEST)

:I'm happy you like it. Brad likes it. Still waiting to hear back from Aykray whether he's happy with the use of the colouring pic. I hope he will be. --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 14:48, 18 April 2017 (CEST)

== Ideas Dump ==
* Main page boxes:
** Show latest Field Notes Colors,
** Podcast episodes,
** Other Subscriptions?? - Baron Fig?, Artsnacks?
* Ingest other podcasts?:
** Art Supply Posse,
** Dot Grid,
** Anderson Pens,
** Goulet Pens,
** Goulet Q&A,
** Penmanship?
* Follow Q&A episodes on other podcasts (most of TPA has been tagged--most)
* ''Resources Master List:''
** Glossary / Anatomy of Stationery Products images / pages
** 'Required Listening' / Significant Episodes (for new listeners)
** Master Chronology of Episodes (would include the cross-hosting and 'weaving' of episodes between shows (like B-Sides, Inquisitive, Art Supply Posse, etc.)
** Ana's Master Refill post
** Social / Regional / Internet Groups:
*** Pen Addicts Worldwide (FB)
*** PenAddict Slack
*** Field Nuts (FB)
*** Fountain Pen Network
** Conference List / Map?
** Fan-creations (from games, to color pages, to ancillary notes, to pronunciation soundboards)
** Transcripts?? (At least for the Q&A portions, I know it is very time consuming)

[[User:aykray|Akray]] ([[User talk:aykray|talk]]) 21:41, 21 April 2017 (CEST)

=== Transcripts ===
Could that be done with dictation software? Audio is very clear, so it might work for 90% of the dialogue. --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 12:07, 22 April 2017 (CEST)

:That's what I was thinking, letting the dictation software do a full run and then human(s) goes through to buff out the rough parts.
I thought it may be helpful to spin out the transcript pages as their own page per episode. My thinking was that the transcripts wouldn't completely fill up the episode pages, and so that we can do transcript-specific notes, edits, and links.
--[[User:aykray|aykray]] ([[User talk:aykray|talk]]) 16:13, 26 April 2017 (CEST)

::Sounds great. We could link to the transcripts from the main episode page and put it at e.g. The Pen Addict 253/transcript - we could put the computer version there so everyone can help to fix it. --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 16:25, 26 April 2017 (CEST)

That's what I was thinking. Crowdsource the transcription tweaking (and could allow for possible translations in the future (thinking real far off)). --[[User:aykray|aykray]] ([[User talk:aykray|talk]]) 16:28, 26 April 2017 (CEST)

===Conference List/Map===
I know that [[https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1a_x6D7VyLqpg2wyUDoR7Hp6k8IU&ll=3.7158538771807597%2C-118.68083134999995&z=1 this]] already exists, but only one person is allowed to edit it, so added/replacing info is a pain. I think something like this would be a good idea. [[User:Sgtstretch|Sgtstretch]] ([[User talk:Sgtstretch|talk]]) 02:21, 23 April 2017 (CEST)

:Good idea. There is a map extension for Mediawiki, but send like a lot of effort long term with updates etc. We could start a page for now and if it takes off we try to get the map extension to work. --[[User:Memm|Memm]] ([[User talk:Memm|talk]]) 19:15, 23 April 2017 (CEST)

===Template Talk===
* '''People'''
Adding a Backstory section to People pages, since almost all guests on TPA get asked that by Brad.
* '''Podcast episode'''
Add a 'Network' field on the summary box, and be able to denote specific network(s) per episode, or if they're Independent?

Vik-Thor is my legal spelling (personally chosen, used since High School) though some systems to not allow a hyphenated first name.
aka: Lirleni and Cattaur

Learning the SemanticWiki extensions. I am more used to the normal MediaWiki syntax, so will be doing some experimenting and exploring.

I've always enjoyed colours, and using them in various sorting systems.
(at one point, when I was first getting into comicbooks, I got one of the large tabloid size coloring books. Also the Anatomy Coloring Book.)
I keep thinking of getting some of the new craze of 'Adult Coloring Books' but it's not like I don't have enough stuff to distract me...

My current phase of being interested in fountain pens and inks started after I moved to St. Louis in 12012 for work. Don't remember specifically how I came across it, but I believe it was reddit. Or maybe Badger and Blade?
I ended up being a participant in Pelikan's Wanderlust in 2013. I was very early (I think 2d or 3rd) person to get the Edelstein Topaz box. I chose the Edelstein Aventurine as my reward, and am still using the bottle. (as of 08 July 12017, I need to refill my main pen again sometime this weekend.)
Baystate Blue is the only other full size bottle I have. Several sample vials, though never joined Goulet's Ink Drop.
The only subscription I've done is Field Notes. Joined with Lunacy, and will not be renewing after Campfire. I truthfully do not do enough writing. Though I am trying to increase.

| length = 33
}}

== Description ==

On the first episode of The Pen Addict, Brad and Myke introduce who they are and give a little background in to how this show was conceived. They go on to give you some hints of what's to expect over the coming weeks before launching in to a Glossary of terms you will likely hear in future episodes. <ref>Description taken from the official Pen Addict podcast page https://www.relay.fm/penaddict/1</ref>

== List of Terms ==

* [[Ballpoint ink]] - oil based ink. Consistent
* [[Gel ink]] - consistent and dark. It can smear. Less bleed through. Runs out faster. Currently very popular. Vibrant colors. Suspension.
* [[Liquid ink]] - water based ink that flows well and dries quickly. Bleeds.
* [[Needle tip]] - The point of the pen is shaped like a needle that you would poke yourself with. Example: Hi tec C
* [[Conical tip]] - shaped like a cone.
* Tip size vs line width - not always the same
* [[Nib]] - writing end of a fountain pen
* [[Hybrid ink]] - roller ball/ballpoint example: [[Uni-ball Jetstream]]
* Cap
* Retractable
* Posted - putting the cap on the end of your pen
* Nock - clicker or clicky
* Smooth vs Scratchy - how the pen writes
* [[Mechanical pencil]] - what you can usually find at the store
* [[Drafting pencil]] - has a needle point that is made for architects and engineers

== Further Information ==

Myke discuses the fact that this podcast is an outgrowth of the Enough podcast. Brad had kicked around the idea also. Brad was a guest on episode 104 of the Enough Podcast.

Brad was working for [[JetPens]] at the time of the recording.

Brad discusses the start of the Pen Addict site. It came from his search for and love of fine tipped pens. The pen that started the Pen Addict site was a 0.38 mm Uniball Signo RT from Office Max. Brad wanted to write a block that was written and not typed.

Myke is left handed.

== Running Jokes ==
This marks the first discussion of the side effects of being a pen addict.

Brad discusses people calling him an enabler.

Brad is trying to convert Myke to fine point pens.

Door bell rings and Brad knows immediately it is UPS with a delivery of jetstream pens.

Field Notes Campfire

2017-07-08T06:01:51Z

Cattaur: patches in each pack, ink colors

{{Infobox Field Notes Memo Book
| name = Campfire
| logo =
| date = [[First released::Summer 2017]]
| itemno = [[Item No::FNC-35]]
| paper = [[Paper used::Finch Paper Opaque Smooth 60#T "Bright White"]]
| editionsize = [[Edition size::30,000]] packs
| link = https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/campfire
}}

== Description ==

The cover printing is inspired by a technique common before process color separations made color printing easy: a photographic halftone printed over blocks of solid spot-colors to simulate a color photo. In this case, each book is printed with five different spot colors, the darkest color being the photographic halftone. Three stages of the fire are represented on the three covers, “Dusk,” “Night,” and “Dawn,” and Aaron Draplin came up with a series of logos, “Geometry,” “Community,” and “Responsibility,” for the backs. They’re printed on a coated-one-side paperboard (coated outside, uncoated inside) with a satin varnish applied to protect the finish.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/campfire |title= Field Notes Campfire page |site= Field Notes }}</ref> The graph lines of each cover are also different, coordinated with the uncoated inside covers. (Dusk/light blue, Night/orange, Dawn/brown)

Each pack also includes a "Campfire Master" 2-1/4" badge inspired by Boy Scout merit badges, made by [[Manufactured by::Brewery Outfitters]] in Portland, OR.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://fieldnotesbrand.com/products/campfire |title= Field Notes Campfire page |site= Field Notes }}</ref>

== Reception ==

== Paper ==

The Finch Paper Opaque Smooth 60#T “Bright White” has been used previously. When Bleistift tested the Field Notes x Ingersoll memo books that use this paper it was found that it is whiter than the similar 50#T paper used by Field Notes, while being able to produce darker graphite lines at the same time. <ref>{{cite web|url= https://bleistift.blog/2017/03/field-notes-x-ingersoll-notebooks/ |title= The Field Notes x Ingersoll notebooks |site= Bleistift }}</ref>

==Career==

[[File:Penaddict.png|thumb|left|111px|The Pen Addict Logo]]

===Blogging===

In 2007, Dowdy founded and began writing for [http://www.penaddict.com The Pen Addict] which features weekly updates on stationery news and product reviews. He still manages the website and over time has brought additional writers on-board to write additional content.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Dowdy|first1=Brad|title=How a blogger landed his dream job|url=https://problogger.com/how-a-blogger-landed-his-dream-job/|website=problogger.com|publisher=problogger.com|accessdate=6 July 2017}}</ref>

 

[[File:Brad Dowdy and Myke Hurley.jpg|thumb|right|325px|The Supreme Pen Addict with Myke Hurley]]

===Podcasting===

In 2010, Dowdy, alongside "seasoned expert podcast-world king" [[Myke Hurley]], created the [[The Pen Addict (Podcast)|The Pen Addict Podcast]] which launched on the [[70Decibels]] network. The podcast focuses on current pen and stationery related topics, with weekly follow-up segments.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Dillet|first1=Romain|title=How Relay FM Proves That Podcasts Aren’t An Overnight Success|url=https://techcrunch.com/2015/08/18/relay-fm-and-the-podcast-renaissance-that-never-was|website=techcrunch.com|publisher=techcrunch.com|accessdate=6 July 2017}}</ref>

After a move from 70Decibels to [[5by5]] in 2013, it remained on the 5by5 Podcasting Network until 2014 when it joined the newly created [[Relay FM]].

In May of 2015, The New York Times consulted with Brad Dowdy when discussing the Uni-ball Signo "UM-151", and asked him to offer his opinion on the pen.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Vanderbilt|first1=Tom|title=Letter of recommendation Uni Ball Sign UM-151|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/24/magazine/letter-of-recommendation-uni-ball-signo-um-151.html|website=nytimes.com|publisher=nytimes.com|accessdate=6 July 2017}}</ref>

In April of 2017, WNYC named The Pen Addict podcast one of the most niche podcasts that they've observed.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Basu|first1=Shumita|title=Super Niche Podcasts|url=http://www.wnyc.org/story/super-niche-podcasts|website=wnyc.org|publisher=wnyc.org|accessdate=6 July 2017}}</ref>

After one month, they had raised $78,662 and began production on the initial batch of products to fulfill the Kickstarter campaign rewards. On May 26, 2014, [[Nock Co.]] moved into their production facility near Atlanta, Georgia and began the first production run shortly thereafter.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Swiderska|first1=Kasia|title=Brad Dowdy’s sweet setup|url=https://medium.com/whats-in-store/issue-51-nock-co-578aa45e31db|website=medium.com|publisher=medium.com|accessdate=6 July 2017}}</ref>

In 2010, Dowdy, alongside "seasoned expert podcast-world king" [[Myke Hurley]], created the [[The Pen Addict (Podcast)|The Pen Addict Podcast]] which launched on the [[70Decibels]] network.

On May 26, 2014, [[Nock Co.]] moved into their production facility near Atlanta, Georgia and began the first production run shortly thereafter.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Swiderska|first1=Kasia|title=Brad Dowdy’s sweet setup|url=https://medium.com/whats-in-store/issue-51-nock-co-578aa45e31db|website=medium.com|publisher=medium.com|accessdate=6 July 2017}}</ref>
