Ron Wallin, FireKing's National Sales Manager, spent the day here yesterday teaching us about FireKing's line of record protection files, safes & vaults. I had always thought of FireKing's products as fireproof files. Ron explained that "fireproof is only one feature of our products. Their real purpose is vital records protection; to protect a business's irreplaceable records from fire, theft, impact damage and explosions!" We were also surprised to learn that 59% of customers believe that their files are protected from fire if they are stored in a metal file cabinet. Ron explained that while the metal won't burn, that doesn't protect the papers inside from the heat of the fire, which can result in spontaneous combustion inside the cabinet.

It looks like Pens and Markers are no longer just for writing.  These folks have come up with a very creative use for them called Pen-Spinning. Sometimes office supplies can be used for more than just one specific purpose.  Some of the more adept "spinners" take this very seriously. Apparently there are different tricks and even tournaments. This site explains how to modify a Pentel RSVP Pen to make it more conducive to spinning.

Check out the video to see these "Spinners" in action.
