When more is better

“Just enough” is usually better than “more”. Except when “more” is the reason for people visiting you. Fan blogs, review sites and the carbon based world’s printed MLB stats annuals all play the same role; they exist to give the enthusiast more of what they love.
If you are working on something that falls in to this category – go for it. Be passionate, go all in, revel in the smallest of details. Like this Japanese print magazine about pens and related products.
Next time I pick up a sharpener I will truly wonder what the shavings will look like after a few swift turns. And isn’t that what “fan” stuff is all about, to extend the love/passion/obsession?
