These look kind of funky:
I think I want the one with phrases to use in meetings, to remind me there’s more to life than leveraging my core competencies.

I found this batch of notebooks when I was home for Christmas– I guess I’d missed them on all previous sweeps of my parents’ house. It’s an odd assortment, from when I was in junior high school through my first post-college years when I was living at home again for a little while.

I’m glad this is big news for the Wesleyan Student Assembly: Firke Christens New Notebook:
On Wednesday evening at approximately 9:07 p.m. (EST), Ben Firke ‘12 was sighted writing in a brand new black-and-white patterned notebook. This new notebook is surely only the first of many more to come, as Firke is known for his tendency [...]

Here’s something for everyone whose New Year’s Resolution is to start keeping a diary! A few months ago, I was sent a free sample of an interesting journal called Keel’s Simple Diary. It’s quite different from most of the items I’ve reviewed. It’s a sort of hybrid, I guess– perhaps more of a creativity prod [...]
These are a bit different from the kinds of notebooks that usually interest me, but I thought they were pretty cool when I saw them recently in a store in Brooklyn called Nova Zembla. They’re about 5 x 7″, with a metal cover. You can also buy them online at this site: UncommonGoods.
Here’s another neat-o EBay purchase, a promotional notepad from a typewriter company! Actually, I guess they must have started out as a typewriter company but expanded into general office supplies, given the motto on the cover “Everything for the Office.”
