  • That is the coolest thing I've seen in quite awhile. I love that you can just make a new one whenever you feel like it.
  • You can actually just fold a piece of paper in the way shown (which is not unique; I learned it about 18 months ago), and write shit on it.
  • Merlin Mann will be on this like something that really likes poop on poop.
  • Also, "Merlin Mann" may in fact be the coolest given name ever. I practically want to have sex with him on those grounds alone, and I'm not even gay.
  • Heh. I think it's neat. Took me two tries to fold neatly. I like it a lot.
  • This is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
  • I find that very hard to believe. What if you saw a man flossing his ass with telephone cable. Wouldn't that be more stupid?
  • I'll be the first to admit: it's no New Zealand fartaphone.
  • I like it that their own folding instructions are plain wrong. 1. Start with front page at top right. This under a drawing were the front page is drawn at top left... /oops, I did it again /stops correcting people I wish I could instruct my printer to print my whole addressbook like this...
  • "What if you saw a man flossing his ass with telephone cable. Wouldn't that be more stupid?" I have never met f8xmulder in real life.
  • I thought this was a joke. Sort of one of those "make fun of the PDA-obsessed masses" things. I'll stick to my scribbled shopping lists, at least for now.
  • Also, I gotta say that if I need to have a page of tic-tac-toe boards pre-drawn for me, then being disorganized is the least of my worries.
  • mare, you could probably design your own sheet in a word processor and use mail-merge to populate it with all of your addresses.
  • mare, you could probably design your own sheet in a word processor and use mail-merge to populate it with all of your addresses. Probably I could. Hell, I could even write a special application that imports addresses when you launch it, but I'm kind of lazy.
  • Whoever invented this little thingum (and mail merge -- so useful!) deserves a hug.
  • Ooooh, now I get the blog comment, fish tick. That's sort of...weird. But probably faster than my old Cassiopeia. And with more games!
  • I noticed this week that Moleskin has come out with daily calendars for 2006. They're tempting, but just big enough to provoke a 'what a brick!' reaction.
  • Moleskine. And I hope you don't pronounce it as 'mole skin' because that's very infra dig. /pedant
  • Hah! Chyren uses a Mole-skin. /points, laughs, falls off wall backwards.
  • I use one too. It's the gear!
  • I lurve mine. Especially since they started including the sex-port in the back cover.
  • For those of you who can't afford MoleSkine, there's genuwine NaugaHyde.
  • For myself, I've started printing out basic ruled PocketMod notebooks and I'm using them as bookmarks for whatever I happen to be reading at the moment. Thin enough to fit easily between the pages of your book and great for scribbling down interesting quotes, words you want to look up when you're close to a dictionary, or ideas completely unrelated to the book at hand.
