Here’s an interesting series of posts from a designer who did just that, envisioning [...]
Geeklet writes about parting with a beloved Moleskine:
You see, I don’t normally finish the things I begin. I write stories, I draw pictures, and then I promptly destroy them, delete them, throw them in the trashcan…to say I am destructive is a true understatement.

Do your kids covet your notebooks? This blogger’s daughter does!
My darling 15-year old daughter … sent me a text asking if she could have one of my “little black notebooks.”
I found this very amusing. I can remember being about 8 years old, maybe, and poking around in my dad’s desk where he kept some small [...]
