This notebook is one of the gems of my collection because I’ve never seen anything else quite like it. I must have bought this in the early 80s, at one of the various five-and-ten stores in my area.

And he’s filled a lot of notebooks doing it! I also loved this quote: Why do I insist on keeping a notebook? To quote Dwight Schrute, “I keep secrets from [...]
A fun article in this past weekend’s New York Times: Calendar Wars Pit Electronics Against Paper. A few quotes from paper fans: “I’ve got an iPad, an iPod, I’m on Twitter and Facebook and I’m talking on my BlackBerry now,” said Nelson George, a cultural critic, filmmaker and producer, in a phone interview. “But that’s [...]
