I have problems with film cameras. For a start, I don’t know when I’ve taken each picture, and I have to guess in order to set the date properly after I scan them, which works sometimes if there is a short gap between taking and scanning and my memory holds up, but often one or [...]
I recently finished using a small Allan’s Journal as a daily journal. In the end I decided not to buy another one to replace it, but that wasn’t because it was bad, just simply a few aspects of it weren’t quite what I was after. The Allan’s Journal looks rather like a Bible in construction, [...]
I recently acquired three small softcover A6 notebooks made by Leuchtturm, a Swedish company that I’ve seen more about recently, and already own a few notebooks from. These are called “Jottbooks” – they’re around the same size as, and fit a similar niche to, the pocket Moleskine cahiers, Field Notes, and the Clairefontaine “Life Unplugged” [...]
Fairly quick post, this: previously when I’ve referred to the Midori Traveler’s Notebook and related products, I’ve linked to The Journal Shop, because they were the only people I knew who sold them in the UK.

Good quality plain paper notebooks? Surely not.
Flickr set For other residents of the United Kingdom, here is a quick note about two inexpensive notebooks to be found in high street stationery shops. (Those outside of the UK might see these around but it probably isn’t worth ordering them specially.) I still have the Midori Traveller’s Notebook for general journalling but I’ve [...]
A few thoughts after having used it as my standard journal for a few weeks: I don’t actually use it while travelling. Not that I travel much anyway but I can’t see that it would be all that preferable when doing so – it is durable yes, but the flexible cover would make it awkward [...]
(Flickr set) I have recently received a Midori Traveler’s Notebook, ordered from TheJournalShop. (Please note: “traveller” should have two “l”s in Proper English, but their advertising has it spelled with one. I may randomly switch between the two.) What is this thing? The Midori is halfway between a standard journal and a “system” such as [...]
Being the son of a current IBMer I have had many of these pads and grew up jotting down all kinds of memos on them *old computer punch-cards as well. via The Original IBM ThinkPad « A Continuous Lean..
