Beautifully written! Digital journals will NEVER catch up. It just isn’t the same.

I can’t even understand digital journals. I tried to keep a digital journal, but it didn’t work. The tactile sensation of pen on paper wasn’t there. The ability to make edits while I type takes away from the though that goes into what I want to write on paper. A paper journal has permanence. Once I’ve written a word, it’s there and can’t be taken away. It show’s how I was feeling when I wrote the words and the process I used to choose them. Digital is fine for typing up what has already been written on paper and can be great for business and technical writing, but I don’t see myself ever using a digital journal.

Would LOVE to know which Zebra refill you found to work with the Livescribe pens. A model or part number would be GREAT!

I’ve recently purchased a Livescribe pen and ran across the M by Staples system as well and have been trying to create my own notebook combining the two. I’d love to hear/see what you’ve done or any suggestions you have.

One I use is to clean my kitchen sink with Bicarbonate of Soda. Once scrubbed, I then tip white vinegar on it for that fizzy “oxy” action. Deodorises a smelly plug-hole too.

Ah, bucket chemistry!

According to the calendar, it makes sweaters look “as good as new” one you’ve soaked them overnight and washed them … very strange, isn’t it? Must have something to do with the starch.

Okay, I’m dying to know – what does the mush of old potatoes and water do for matted sweaters?

I was able to get a much better writing experience with my Livescribe by using Zebra refills.

I love the idea of having a decent planner with Livescribe paper to use.

Comment on Friday review roundup by Pensive928

I’ve had a small Habana on my wishlist for a long time precisely because of its size. Well, and because it’s apparently thinner than the Moleskine pocket standard, also, and is available in an unlined version now. The slightly larger size makes it viable as a transportable-by-purse journal and I’m all for lightness. I like cream-colored pages and haven’t yet found the absolutely “perfect” notebooks. Right now, for example, I’m in love with a Quo Vadis Visual 17 planner (great sale price) with silky smooth cream-colored pages. Showthrough? Yes. But I can deal with it because the other features are working really well for me so far.

My list is long and funds are tight, but for me, the Habana features have improved (I do have an original version large, lined, white Habana).

I agree with Zen Student. The ballpoint ink wasn’t even on par with my cheesiest novelty pen!
