In Fall 2021, I threw a extra notebook into my Nolty planner order, just for the heck of it. Then I let it sit around for almost 2 years without reviewing it! Let’s get this situation rectified tout suite. (Or 今すぐ , imasugu, as may be more appropriate.) This Nolty Notebook is model # NTBNT3201. … Continue reading Nolty Landscape Format Notebook
A very poignant article from the Sept. 1, 2019 New York Times: Waiting for the Monsoon, Discovering a Brain Tumor Instead. The photo of reporter Rod Nordland’s journal was what caught my eye, but the whole story is well worth reading. A few brief excerpts below, focusing, of course, on the journal, though there is … Continue reading A Journalist’s Monsoon Journal
I haven’t done many Moleskine Monday posts lately… and it’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my stash of spare Moleskines. For those who haven’t read other posts where I’ve talked about how I feel about the Moleskine brand, here’s an abbreviated version: Late 1990s/early 2000’s— not too long after Modo e Modo … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: My Collection

Though there are things about them that are not 100% what I tend to look for in notebooks for my … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Paperblanks Mini Reporter Notebooks

My Moleskine collection is much more … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Goodsnake

I like writing things down – bits of detail, colour, what people say, their names, memory joggers, phone numbers. You name it. I am writing this in a notebook because we are out filming. … Continue reading Notebook Stolen by Gaddafi’s Son?
I was catching up on my New Yorker magazines over the weekend and enjoyed this article by Calvin Trillin: Remembering the Freedom Riders. I also liked the accompanying photo of the author as a young reporter… with a notebook, of course! Â
I’ve noticed a couple of great posts about notebooks by Range over at Memoirs on a Rainy Day. I love it when people can just talk about their notebooks and why they like them and how they use them, as in this post: Notebook Obsession and Rhodia Love. He doesn’t have a photo of his … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Range
I’d been noticing ads for Livescribe products but I hadn’t really paid attention until seeing this article by James Fallows: My new favorite gadget: Livescribe Pulse pen. It actually sounds pretty cool– the pen is an audio recorder, which you use with special paper. As you write, the pen keeps track of where you are … Continue reading Paper + Electronic: The Livescribe Pulse Pen & Journal
