New Notes

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing. Read about an on-the-go notebook good for jotting down extraneous notes.

Tech continues to shrink, but I still find it easier to walk around with a pen and a pad of paper in my pocket than any gadget (even my cell phone). I’ve got witnesses and ink stains to prove it.

One of the more popular portable diaries of sorts are the Moleskine (which claims to have held the ideas of both Picasso and Hemingway). The notebooks come in all sorts of sizes and varieties, even portable portfolio folders for artists or other sets of notes.

Moleskines are a very particular brand of notebook and thus they have a particular size and page shape. No need to guess because now, when you’re not on the go, you can print the perfect page for your notebook off the web. MSK wizard sets up a Moleskine sized page online you can print and then take with you. Need a picture off of google to help with the inspiration you’ve already jotted down? No problem.

It’s not a necessity obviously, part of Moleskines popularity is using it on the go when you can’t access a computer. But if you can, this definitely enhances the experience. Simplicity is bliss.
