I’m not sure I’d want to do this to any of my precious Moleskine notebooks, but it’s still a pretty cool hack.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone reading my blog, but I’m a total nut for notebooks. The favorite is high quality stuff from Moleskine, but that doesn’t mean that I neglect other offerings out there. So when Kiki James in London wanted to send me handmade leather bound journal, I just couldn’t say no.
Naturally, I had to document this baby, so with my trusty Sony Cybershot T70, I tore the box from the postman’s hands, snarled, and retreated to my home office. Read more →
I want me one of these! It’s a cover for the Moleskine notebook, not as elaborate as the one I’ve mentioned before, but still very cool and stylish. I’ll contact Cziplee about the brown one for sure. Check out the Flickr set. Via!
Moleskine notebooks, one of the finer things in life
As you know, I’m a huge Moleskine fan, with notebooks to the left and right. I’m definitely not alone in my obsession, lots of people swear by this line of notebooks. As I’ve written previously, I use notebooks for various things, such as keeping notes, write fiction, and I even switched to the Moleskine calendar this year, which proved to be a good choice.
It’s a bit nerdy I guess, to be so engrossed in a notebook, and a specific maker of notebooks at that, but I can’t help it. And besides, it does go the extra mile.
Moleskine notebooks are high quality gear, just like my Pilot G-2 pens are (although cheap, but they fit me). I like them for their quality, and the fact that they are great to write on in both 05 and 07 versions. The former I use for my smaller Moleskine notebooks, while the latter is my preferred size when writing in larger books, and in my calendar. Read more →
Mondays suck, I regularly have that awful Garfield moment where I realize it is Monday, and that I just don’t want it to be. It’s not that I hate my work week or anything, or that the weekend is such a killer that I want it to never be over, it’s more of a feeling of having to pick myself up. All the way up.
I really hate Mondays.
The good part about these blasted days is that it is when I do my weekly planning, giving myself weekly goals, and a todo list. I have done this for years, trying various ways to manage this system, and have found a model that works for me. It might not work for you, but if it doesn’t, you can always port it to some other way of managing it, to fit your workflow. Read more →
Index cards are great, you can use them for all kinds of things. Me, I never really bothered about them until a couple of years ago, when I was involved in the creation of a board game. They were perfect for jotting down stats on, so I bought a bunch.
The board game never reached production, and was actually just barely playable to be honest. It wasn’t such a good idea, it would seem.
The index cards, however, turned up when I was moving out to the country (I’ve moved since, back in a city again, by the way), and I was immediately hooked. Read more →
I decided to start a little project this week. As you might know I’m also writing fiction, both for online projects (like OrnTales.com) and, well, offline things.
To further push myself to the fiction breathing monster of ten years ago, I’m willing to try any technique. My most recent one is very analog indeed. I decided to buy a Moleskine notebook, and a high quality ball pen that felt good in my hand. Read more →
