NOTEBOOKS ON NET Fans get technical

HIGH, LOW TECH
Moleskine enthusiasts go online to post blogs and user tips. They sometimes lace submissions with technology lingo, such as "hyperlink" and "firewire." Here are excerpts from Internet hot spots:
"I buy Moleskines every few months, whether I need them or not. I buy the Van Gogh green ones, the small ones, the blank ones, the lined ones -- I have a shelf full of them, as if they are a treasure. And they are a treasure."
"Just a quick hello. Bought a large ruled Moleskine for my software engineering/architecture notebook for work. Absolutely love its style. Now the obsession has begun: I bought a pocket one for keeping notes and personal journaling."

"Most of all, it soothes. In my digital world, the Moleskine calms me; evokes the intimacy of handwritten 'Thank You' notes and of good manners. It's a friend saying, 'Let's sit, let's dream.' My latest dream? A Moleskine with firewire."

"By numbering every page in your Moleskine you can add a 'continued from page 53' or 'continued on page 92.' These Moleskine hyperlinks help you keep track of multiple threads of thought happening all at once. They also help others understand your thoughts when they dig up your priceless Moleskine in a thousand years."
"Here's my own [tip]: a holding mechanism for the Fisher Space Pen. I wanted a way to join the notebook and the pen so I would not have to dig for either when I need them in a pinch. The problem was that the Fisher has no clip and is very slick. So I bent a paperclip to snugly grab the pen where its sheath ends and affixed a rubber band to hold the other end. It ain't pretty, but it works."

"Moleskine accompanied me on a one-year, around-the-world journey in 2001/2002. From Europe to Southern Africa, to the South Pacific, a Moleskine notebook was always in my pocket. This excerpt was written in a monastery in the jungles of Guadalcanal."
