They are a bit more pricy, but I love them and couldn't live without one.

Pollas has been trying to sell me on the moleskine, too, but I kinda like this, and I really like cheap. It's a tool, not a statement. Besides, I got a supply of 15 on my last visit to NYC, and I'm only on nuber 2 so far, so I'll be good for a while :) Thanks for the tip.

So I moved to the cardboard backed slim moleskines, but that's a lot of money just to buy a notebook. For a similar quality simple notebooks, but with a better range of sizes, bindings (spiral, fold flat top or left)and less expensive, try stationary from <a href="http://www.mujionline.co.uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?V=1&Sec=1&Sub=4">Muji</a> (UK, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Japan). I personally don't much like spiral bindings - they get tatty and start to poke you and your clothes. The fold flat Muji ones suit me nicely (but I need to wait for a trip to Europe to stock up :) I used to be a moleskine fan – the mid-sized type with elastic strap – but they are too un-disposable (ie. expensive and heavy) for my liking these days.

I guess you can use that same feature in other notebooks as well. "and I really like cheap. It's a tool not a statement". I guess you don't apply that same principle to your choice of laptop ;o) Well, on the first page of a Moleskine you can write your name, address of choice and offer a reward for the finder if it ever gets lost.

I just bought a Moleskine today, I haven't been analogue for years, but I like the texture of a book. I bought the plain one - no lines etc. Nothing to distract you - just white paper. I'm thinking about the right pen now. Maybe just a pencil. I kinda like pencils though I havn't used one since school back in the 70s. What about RFID-tags?

I recently read "Weinberg on Writing":http://www.amazon.com/Weinberg-on-Writing-Fieldstone-Method/dp/093263365X and noticed how many "fieldstones" I'm missing by not always writing interesting stuff down. The problem would still persist, though. I doubt I would take the pad and the pen with me when I'm excercising, and that's when a lot of neat ideas surface. I should get something similar, too.
