So yeah, I admit it, tablet fanatic though I am, I use a paper notebook.

It would be stupid not to.

Maybe when my tablet can boot up, log in, and have the notebook page ready to go in less than a third of a second, we can talk again about going all digital. I do go digital with InkSeine quite a bit, but it cannot solve all that is wrong with tablets.

There are also certain things that happen in a paper notebook that are just magic. Here are my ruminations on one of them.

I was looking at my paper Moleskine notebook and was really struck by
the clean line that separates the messy past from the pristine future--
the place where all possibilities are open and no mistakes have been
made. The pages go through a transformation and expand. The ideas grow
into the interstices of the notebook, forcing the pages apart like tree
roots under the sidewalk.
So I had to
mark it:

"THE FUTURE
UNKNOWN."

What ideas will
fall in place
here? I know
they will come.
some good, some
bad, maybe a
great one...

But from here, I can't
see them over the horizon
yet. The only way to find
them is to keep writing and
sketching and collecting
stuff till the binding
blows out and it can
hold no more.
