I love the moleskin notebooks and have been using them in the field for the past two years. I also use a notebook for the office, but am still on a cheap spiral note pad. I have done this since I started writing up my PhD, but I haven’t saved the old ones. Maybe I should have done that.

I did indeed ruin the pristineness of the new notebook … with a pre-travel to-do list … yawn

The tyranny of the blank page / canvas. I find it’s helpful to just ruin the pristine emptiness with a quick note.

I like the idea of a field notebook for the office. Because I tend to go in and out of the office (to the field and back again in the same day), I’ve taken to using a regular – yes, write in the rain – yellow field book.

The Moleskine idea sounds very classy.

I used a Moleskine at AGU this year, it was perfect. It worked for talks, for people’s phone numbers, for my daily planner schedule, accounting so I could submit receipts, everything. In my office I tend to use a legal pad, but that had definite drawbacks. Perhaps Moleskine all the way!
