Canon CanoScan LiDE 120
I checked SANE‘s supported devices list, and saw that the LiDE 120 is supported , however the model I received uses a different and Linux-unsupported chipset! (GL848+)
Herein are notes of my misadventure.

An fast, moderate-sized and extraordinarily cheap drive.
Refurbished, but these seem to be in good shape. Don’t expect the intel manufacturer’s warranty to have much, if any, time left. You’re leaning on newegg, and then perhaps your credit card’s insurance policy, if it has one.

I got this for Connecting a PlayStation 2 to a contemporary monitor. It works great.
I also got a Round to Flat Power Plug Convertor – Black to use with a two-prong flat plug.

A reasonable all-around reader, particularly good because it can read CF (CompactFlash) cards.
Great features and high quality.

A 92-key wireless keyboard+mouse combination.
With a lithium-ion battery and charging cable, broad compatibility and tiny-but-functional size, this is an inexpensive and handy device.

These are high-quality pens which use ceramic-tipped water-based refills.
Much of my writing is pen and paper, and the right pen is extremely important. A certain balance, texture and weight of pen, and a smooth writing experience are important to me. Put one of these pens down on a table, and spin them. They spin around the central closure for when the cap fits against the pen. That’s Japanese quality.
I’ve bought these from ThinkGeek , but most recently I’m buying them from penloversparadise.com.
I do not know if this ink is archival quality!

These are high-quality notebooks with archival quality paper.
Much of my writing is pen and paper, and it turns out that good paper also matters a lot. I’m perfectly comfortable with cheap paper in a three-ring binder, but I want something much better for travel and for long-term storage. A bookshelf of these little notebooks also look a hell of a lot better than binders.

Conclusion: Seems great!

I snapped off the front door, tried to glue it on and then snapped it off again. While it’s not fragile as fuck, I’m clumsy and it’s not very well made.

I write short stories. On paper. With a pen.
One of the obvious questions one would have come to mind when seeing me work is “Why use pen and paper?” In an era of computers and sophisticated writing software, isn’t the pen obsolete? Not even close.
