Paper: Modnotebook Interesting product. It's a regular moleskin, but it comes with an envelope so you can mail it in and the notebook will be scanned and put into a cloud account for you in various formats. Then the notebook will be mailed back to you. I find this to be a great way to preserve ideas and drawings. http://modnotebooks.com/ Pencils: I'm an artist as well as developer, so I'm extremely picky about my mec…

I've always loved the idea of Modnotebook. The blocker for me was always the thought of my notebook being lost while shipping it back to them, before it's been digitized. Glad to see someone using it happily though.
My notepad of choice is the Rhodia dot pad. They're bound on the top of the page so they're good at laying flat, and I've never had an ink bleed through the paper. As far as pens I use a Pilot Metropolitan with Noodler's black ink. However, I'm really lazy with refilling it so I tend to default to the PaperMate InkJoy pens that my office gets.
For an everday pen, I use a Lamy Safari fountain pen[0] with an extra-fine nib. For a pencil I use a Pentel GraphGear 1000[1] in 0.5mm. [0] http://www.lamy.com/eng/b2c/safari/017 [1] http://www.pentel.com/store/graphgear-1000
Hi. Question regarding your Safari -- does it carry well ? For example, can you toss it in a courier bag and tote it around safely without it leaking ink, or having some other fountain-pen-specific problem happening ?
I have also flown with it numerous times. I have the ink convertor, and I squeeze out the air (or make sure it's full of ink) before I fly, and have had no problems. I have even written with it in-flight, without issues.
Why do people like Moleskine so much? I like a nice pen to write with, but binder clips with a stack of scratch paper to take notes is plenty enough
I found out, just yesterday, that it is stationery (with an ery) when talking about office supplies and stationary (with an ary) when talking about something that isn't moving. I'm not a grammar nazi and I don't care how people spell it at all, I was just interested that after years I had always been getting it wrong, so I am just sharing it here!
Stationery with an 'E' is for Envelopes and such
Stationary with an 'A' is when you Ain't moving much
