About
My name is Thomas Andrew Overfield.
That’s me and now that I just turned 43 I’m thinking about what to put in this spot for the next year. Here are the basics:
I live in the Virginia, U.S.A.
I collect fountain pens and watches.
I oddly have a lot of friends in places I’ve never been.
Um…anyone who knows me have any further ideas to fill space?
My email is TAO at bleubug.com

Hey Thomas,
I was looking to exchange links between our blogs. I was going to e-mail or message you directly, but could not find a contact form or e-mail address. Please feel free to e-mail me directly.
Thanks,
Tom
LD: Thanks for the compliment. Yep, I do like blue. My initials weren’t planned and I’ve also been told they are the word “human” in Tagalog too.
I must say – once again – that you have a fantastic blue (or should I say bleu?) blog! Very fortunate initials, by the way!
Angela: Thanks for the kind comment. I’m not sure how wonderful this scatter shot place is! Seeing your comment here has reminded me that it’s almost a year since I started this. Wow. Need to update my “about” since I’m older and not wiser now. I enjoyed looking at your fiber art as well. Thanks again for dropping by.
Mr. Overfield, you have created a wonderful blog here. I will definitely be reading from now on.
Kate: Thanks for the kind words…the comment is reciprocated about your blog.
I find your blog truly delightful xx
this space is beautiful!
The Kim: I’ve read your blog since your story about illness in the Windy City. Actually, I’ve bought a few pens from your guys which I’m planning on blogging about soon. It’s always been great to do business with you.
I think I was a PCA member 10 years or longer ago. I had a lull in my pen futzing and let it lapse. Maybe it’s time to join up again. I’ll try to remember to take a look.
Thanks for the comments and information.
TAO.
Very nice blog. I continue to work on mine. More entries to come.
Are you a PCA member? You would really benefit from the library. You can download all kinds of good stuff on Sheafffer.
well, i don’t think you’re stoopid. you probably know a lot more than me in this area. thanks for the offer. will call you when i need help. won’t be long i think. appreciate it! : )
Ed: I worked for a couple of printing companies. The largest was RR Donnelley in their digital print and book divisions. The printing I worked in is a bit different than using screen printing or digital garment printers. I do have a little hands on experience with screen printing from my days in grad school. Anyway, I’m familiar with the concepts at least. Happy to lend any help I could if you ever need it. But remember, I’m pretty stoopid.
“I’ve worked in the technical areas of printing and publishing for way too long now.” As in the newspaper industry? You don’t happen to know a couple of things about t-shirt printing, do you … : )
Clem: I saw pictures of the meet and even a video. It really looked like huge fun. I don’t know if my “frankenpens” are all the beautiful but they are a way of recycling parts that might not have been used.
Thanks for the comment and reading my scribbles here.
Hi! The pen meet last Saturday was sooo fun! I saw the pens you sent to Caloy and Jenny and they’re very, very beautiful! I was even able to try the one you sent to Caloy and it’s now on my Molie.
Clem,
Nice to hear from you and thanks for the comment! Jenny was nice to link to my site since I never really told anyone about it but a few friends. Sure, feel free to link and I’ll return the favor. The folks I know from FPN-P are some of the nicest and I hope you have fun at the meet this weekend. From what I read those meets are some of the most fun ones I’ve seen.
hi! i’m a fountain pen collector in the philippines and a member of PFN-Philippines. i found your site through jenny ortuoste’s links. is it okay to add your site to my blogroll? thanks! you got a beautiful blog going here. cheers!
Thanks for your comment and compliment, Cheh. Glad to hear your husband enjoys fountain pens as well! Often that goes with another hobby such as calculators or, in my case, mechanical watches. Not sure how I happened across your blog but it was probably on a search for Filipino food or recipes (Cooking is another love of mine). It is interesting reading so I check in on it now. Take care!
Love this theme,too.Neat & clean but definitely beautiful.My husband is also into fountain pens apart from being mechanical calculator collector.BTW Thanks for taking time leaving comments in my blog! Greatly appreciated it
Have a great week ahead!
It has been fun changing Thesis around a bit. It’s a very good theme and pretty easy to learn how to do things like the rotating header text and such. I’ll keep fiddling since there’s still a few things I’d like to do.
Yay!!! Cool site, absolutely fabulous!!! Super design, I love how you tweaked the Thesis. Congratulations!
