Blog-tionary

Some people just have a different way of looking at things. Jonathan Vehar, senior partner at New and Improved, a consulting company that creates innovation teams, has just tiptoed into the world of blogs and sent us this message:

quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work
in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA
scientists spent several years and a $1 million
development project to produce a
pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on
almost any surface, including glass, and at temperatures
ranging from well below freezing to over 200 F.

The Russians used a pencil.
