Arsenal Notebook

Nifty — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:00:12 +0000

Here’s one for soccer fans: an Arsenal Football Club Moleskine. I’m not sure if it’s literally a Moleskine brand notebook customized with the team’s logo and a red bookmark and elastic, or a lower-case M generic moleskine notebook. At $16.99 for a 5×8.5″ notebook, it seems too cheap not to be a knockoff. I suppose if it’s not a real one, Moleskine’s lawyers will be all over them soon enough!

I think this is my favorite Moleskine partnership yet. It actually has a piece of Lego in the cover. My nephew is obsessed with Legos, so this might have to be his next birthday present!

Notebook Addict of the Week: Julie the Gadgeteer

Nifty — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:00:52 +0000

I went through a phase in the late 1990s when my notebook obsession was relatively dormant, because my lust for handheld data receptacles of a certain size and shape had displaced itself onto the Palm Pilot and its various descendents. PDAs were my addiction then: I bought (and resold) about 15 different models over about 10 years, and there’s probably no website that was more responsible for stoking my techno-desires than The Gadgeteer, Julie Streitelmeier’s excellent gadget review blog. In recent years, Palm has faded and though I love my iPhone, I have never been quite as “into it” as I was with Palm devices. I went back to being more excited by paper, but I still keep an eye out for what Julie and her team of writers are reviewing, and I was thrilled to see that the “gadgets” that Julie loves include notebooks! Check out this stash:

She says:

I’m currently obsessed with trying to find a perfect way to keep a daily journal on my iPhone, iPad or good old paper. I think paper is going to win the battle, but I’m not sure buying a bazillion notebooks is helping. In the process, I’ve become a notebook addict…

Yup, she’s a notebook addict!

If even committed technophiles can’t resist the call of notebooks, I think there’s still hope that pen, pencil and paper will survive whatever new digital innovations arise! So glad you posted this, Julie– I always knew you were a kindred spirit!
