Note-making and journals

I'm on the Eastgate mailing list, and thus heard about this website in progress - Notes About Notes. I found it a fascinating read! (And suddenly want an absolutely beautiful but way expensive journal - maybe when I've made my fortune...)

Anyway, the website looks great. Take a look!

I shall end with a lovely writing-related picture, and a new nifty bit of tech - the Hipster PDA.

Not sure if I could countenance shelling out $180 for a hard-bound journal with hand-made paper, but I have been using the Hipster PDA for the last month or so. I'd actually been using 3x5 index cards for note-taking since my PhD, but it had never occurred to me to fasten them with a bulldog clip rather than a rubber band.

Yes, if money were no object... on a smaller (and far better value) scale, I discovered a year or so ago that buying a Nice Notebook (e.g. spending maybe a fiver more for something presentable with a decent solid cover) somehow encourages the making of better notes!

And, horray for the Hipster PDA. :)

I never got into those little cards...
then again, I hardly took any notes ;)

but still, genius, and sometimes its the simple things that pass us by :)

Heh! I think it's broader than taking notes in lectures... certainly my own perspective is that of someone that enjoys creative writing, jotting down the world around me, and - of course - making lists and being organised. ;)

Yay for notes. :)

Hipster PDAs are cool

I mean, like, they so passed them out at the Web 1.0 Conference this year. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/willpate/51695705/)

I mean, who couldn't love a bunch of people getting together with the purpose of "Scaling Extensible Whatever with Blah Blah Blah across the Enterprise" ?
