Print your own notebooks
Couple of things caught my eye over the last few months, with regard to self-printing.
Most recent first - Moleskine have released an intriguing site that lets you create PDFs of contacts, or your own text/images, that print to fit exactly inside their lovely, pricey, notebooks.
I really like the idea of being able to customise notebooks, perhaps with some timely reading, or personal lists. Nice simple instructions, nothing beyond a dedicated attempt and a text editor...I tried this using an old blog post - doesn't seem to be able to handle line breaks (or basic html paras or lists?).
Like BoingBoingGadgets, I thought there would be a nifty way of integrating this into the notepad, but it seems to be expected to just pop them in wherever. Oh well.
And a fantastically interesting set of ideas and physical prototypes about notebooks, both from a perspective of physical manufacture/repair, and the notebook as memory and intellectual container, is Tom Armitage's post on Endless Notebooks. A fascinating idea; treating notebooks as repairable and upgradable objects, not static clumps of paper.
