Low Tech…
in kind of an anti-geek move, I bought my first Moleskine notebook today. Grabbed it at Books-A-Million over my lunch hour. Not really sure why, no real plans for it, but I love writing. Yes, I mean the creative process of putting thoughts down into print, but I also mean the actual physical action of pen on paper. Actually, I love pencil on paper more, but for my Moleskine I’ll be using ink.
I think I’ll just use it as a journal/thought-bank. I often hear things I want to note, or get an idea I want to remember later… it’s not always easy to fire up the laptop (especially with my battery in the state it’s in) and I’ve NEVER gotten into using a PDA. So, I plan to have my little black book with me almost constantly in order to make notes when appropriate. I’ll be in some pretty lofty company!

Ahhh, yes, Moleskine is sexy paper! I have this fear of buying one– like, what if I get it and end up “wasting” thoughts on it? But, then again, look what Picasso left in his…is that a coffee/jelly donut stain?
Nothing beats pencil on paper. I’ve been thinking about one of those high falutin’ fancy shmancy Moleskines. Thought I could only find one online…had no idea BAM had them. Do they come both lined and unlined? Please let me know if you dig it.
