Thumb Calendar – Another Pocket Calendar

Yesterday in my Hotlinking section I mentioned the Compact Calendar put together by David Seah. One of the things I love about the Compact Calendar is how easily it fits into my Moleskine and how nicely it acts as a display calendar in the half dozen places I have them stashed.

Today on Lifehacker I spotted a new pocket of calendar called the "Thumb Calendar." The Thumb Calendar, by Adam Sporka, is an incredibly neat little design that looks ideal for popping into your wallet, hipster PDA or even your Moleskine.

Moleskine Alert – 2008 Planners!

Moleskine PlannerI carry a Moleskine Notebook everywhere I go. In my own modified version of GTD I use it to keep track of all my projects and "to do's" and it doubles as a solid capture device. Along with my Space Pen my Moleskine is an indispensables part of my daily routine.

Besides my pocket reporter I also keep a couple of Large Moleskine Notebooks for other purposes as well. The most recent addition is my Moleskine Weekly planner - it's a great way to track all your major events and a solid way to keep a paper backup of your Online calendar.

One major problem with Moleskine Planners? They sell out fast. If you're looking to get a hold of one of these great notebooks now's a good time to grab them as there are many available on Amazon. Wait too long and you may not be able to get them until early next year!

I Love Moleskine Hacks

I just finished up my first Moleskine for 2007. While I managed to squeeze three months worth of lists, notes, and ToDos into the notebook I've already got some changes planned for my next one. At the top of the list is incorporating two new hacks that I just recently came across.

The first one comes from Todd at ToddStanfield.Com. Todd dropped me a line about one of his Moleskine hacks which involves using "photo corners" to hold blank notecards to the Moleskine's cover. Check out his post on the hack for more details as well as a nice writeup of Jott.

The second hack, from foo-gui, makes room for an 2nd gen iPod Shuffle right on cover. I'll have to tweak it a bit, because I prefer the reporter style Moleskines, but it's a sleak looking hack that I really digg.

Both of the above hacks have some great photo galleries associated with them so be sure to head over and check them out. If you have any Moleskine hacks or tips you'd like to share please let me know - below you'll find a list of related posts outlining previous hacks I've come across and if you click Moleskine Small Plain Notebook Writing Journals Book in the tag cloud you'll see even more hacks and mods for my favorite notebook.

3×5 Moleskine Cases for the Hipster Moleskine Fans

Here's a nifty leather case for those folks interested in mixing their Moleskine with a bit of Hipster flair. Available in both pocket and large size (for both versions of the Moleskine) this case holds index cards, a pen, and a Moleskine in a neat little package. The large case goes for $95 and the pocket size goes for $50. IF you have a few extra bucks and dig the look of these brown leather cases (as I do) check out Renaissance Art for more.

Refilling a Moleskine

The other day I posted a link to an Instructable article that dealt with turning a Moleskine Notebook into a sleeve for a hipster PDA. While I still don't see why someone would want to remove the Moleskine paper just to replace it with index cards, I did find another interesting tutorial that is a bit more interesting.

Trumpetvine Travels has a great post today covering how to replace the inside of a Moleskine Daily Pocket Planner with more specialized papers. The post, Moleskine Reloaded, is also a great reference for anyone wanting to look into binding their own notebooks.

If you're not interested in cutting up a Moleskine the method outlined on Trumpetvine Travels can also be used for creating a book that can be placed into the leather journal sleeves you can find in many bookstores.
