This is truly one of the best essays of its kind that I've read in a long time. Well-written. Honest. Heartfelt. There was so much I liked about this, but especially: "The moleskine is very netbook like, as a paper object. It says ‘write in me’, not ‘play games on me, set me to vibrate, play with me on a subway’." and "A moleskine says fill me, I can save these ideas for you as long as you like. I’ll be here. You might even enjoy flipping through me and reading me, even before you’re ready to use some of them. It’s OK, you can open up. Tell me. I’m a moleskine." Very well done, my friend.
