Love the information about the Moleskine PDA! Very Informative even for a girl like myself on the tough guy website. I just came across another product earlier in the month that i thought I’d share.

I found the a boutique shop ( http://www.molecover.com ) that sells Moleskine covers and bought a Black one early this month. I love it and have not been able to put it down since I got it in the mail. They also host a blog on other creative cover methods which I feel is worth a look-sy =) : http://www.moleskinecover.com

Great article. I like to organize my Moleskine using a colored marker on the edges of the paper to created tab-free sections. You can read about it on my blog here: http://journalingarts.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/organize-your-moleskine-notebook-into-sections-without-tabs/

Portaitissa! What a delightful surprise. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes! Love for the Mother of God should be on one’s list of things manly.

Forget the rubber band approach–not going to work.. Instead, thread page-marker ribbon through the pen clip and close it in the book as usual. Close book, then wrap elastic book-closure band around the other end of the pen and book. Solid as a rock, and much more out-of-the-way as the pen sits inside the book cover a little bit.

I’ve carried notebooks many years to take notes and sketch ideas.
I would get cheap brown books and cut round the corners with a nail clipper, so that they would come out of any pocket with ease.
I kept them all. Reviewing them gives me a sense of the journey.
I’ve had many Moleskine.
They are valuable to me since a sketch will not show on the reverse side.
I even made artwork covers on the thin models; they look like passports…

I don’t see how a Moleskine would be “effeminate”. It’s a black notebook, which seems pretty gender-neutral to me.

And even if if *were* effeminate – so what? If women can wear pants, then surely we can use Moleskines and PDAs – or, at least, read an article on those topics without whining about how it’s OMG SO UNMANLY.

I usually have used the Cahier squared notebooks in the past, a couple of years now, when underway, I use it instead of my wallet, only really needing my cash card instead of the whole wallet situation.

But recently while a getting a refill, I decided to upgrade to the larger, “journalist style” notebook, with blank pages. I’ve numbered every bottom page with even numbers to keep track, and am contemplating a few other “hacks” – as they say, appearantly.

However, the only drawback to this book is that it’s much larger, while the cahiers generally get a little ragged after too long in my back-pocket this one’s almost too big to comfortable sit down. We’ll see how it works out.

Autoplaying video ads? Seriously?

Too bad, your content is good, but that ad is intolerable.

I use a cheap 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ composition note book. They are .99 at Walmart. If you need to rip out a page you can do it from the middle where it is sewn together.
No spiral so It fits comforably in the back pocket of your pants. There were some good suggestions here that I will start using.
