Hey Ryan?

I also got my paper catalog yesterday - I do love to peruse the paper copy. I sometimes find it hard to get a feel for what things really look like from the website.

Anywho, I have a question:

In the photo of the "Priority Manager" Drawer/Tray, there are some file folders peeking out which appear to be printed to look like old maps. Very cool and attractive, to my eye anyway. Any idea where the folks who do your photography got them? I love the way they look. Make a very personalized statement.

Just curious,
Reese

they were quick on the bomber jacket circa

i heard that they were considering doing the circa in the bomber jacket leather, but that it might be 6 months before it came to pass. well, it is in the current catalog already!

now i just have to decide where i'm going with this GTD system -- letter size, compact, hipster.

please don't say one of each (fortunately no hipster in the bomber jacket ... yet).

Circa PDA on Levenger's catalog cover

Rollafool — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 20:19:39 -0500

Came home from work to find the latest Levenger catalog in the mail, with the Circa PDA on the cover! W00t!!!

What a great validation for Doug and the templateers of the world! You guys, this one's for you.

Somewhere in California, Merlin Mann is smiling...

It's been said here already, but boy do they have some nice template designs, and -- YESSSS! -- tabs too. I was also pleased to see that they're using actual 3x5 card size inserts, as opposed to the inserts they used in the original 3x5 notebook that had the perforated edges. As usual, when Levenger decides to do something they do it right!

I carry my hPDA in my back pocket. I wonder if the leather one will be too thick for that. Not that it's going to keep me from buying one!

OK, enough babbling. Time to go order! I love the "buy everything" button idea. :-D

Cheers,
Paul

my artwork

LOL, Levenger is not

Chet — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 17:13:33 -0500

LOL, Levenger is not perfect. For example, I don't like any of the colours available for the new Circa PDA notebook. Yes, I can always get the leather ... not! It's too expensive!

But overall, I do agree Levenger does some nice stuff. They have come a long way from a few years ago. I was just going through my diaries last night and came across references to Levenger purchases as far back as 1999! A lot of my Levenger related diary entries were accompanied by a promise that it would be my last purchase from them but that was one promise I never kept. I also found complaints about product quality in my old diary entries. The fact that I am still buying from them shows the quality has improved. (Or I'm an idiot).

"Buy all" button

Studio717 — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 14:46:26 -0500

Sigh. Why don't they just have a 'buy everything' button? I mean... that new seaglass pen is just gorgeous... the covers are wonderful, the dividers, and pages, and... yeesh, I still have stuff that hasn't arrived yet from my last indulgence with them.

ring size

pinkyreeny — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 12:23:10 -0500

frano,

The plastic covers on Circa books usually have half-inch rings and the leather ones 3/4" to allow for the thicker covers.

Aaaagh!

shb — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 11:43:27 -0500

I'm really really really close behind you, nay nay. In my shopping cart right now are:

The Bluebell hpda cover (I plan to name my CircaPDA "Bluebell". Creative, huh?)
Sample hpda forms
Portable smurfer

That's $80 I don't need to spend. My credit card is cringing in the corner of my purse. I keep trying to coax it out, telling it how lucky it is that I am not buying way more stuff than that.

[edited by shb to take out more of the aaa's because the formatting still sucked. sorry about that everyone. my emotions got the better of me.]

Bang !

SHOOT

nay nay — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:34:00 -0500

Well, I caved. It took all of 5 minutes to pull out the credit card! I bot the blue pda cover, a pack of sample cards, and the colored dividers. I'm excited to receive it, but I am yelling at myself on the inside. Oh well, my heart always wins over my mind!

Boston in April

Tournevis — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 09:58:12 -0500

My long Levenger list for my visit in Boston in April? Amended. I am now up to 204$ from the original 194$.

*tempted*

Oh Crap!

nay nay — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 09:49:25 -0500

That is all I can say.... Oh, and I got paid today.... Double crap! I have been so strong the last few weeks and now that beautiful blue pda comes along.... Oh crap!
:P
nay nay

The Index Card Dispenser!

NurseGirl — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 09:40:37 -0500

I am in love with this index card dispenser. Darn you! I usually only allow myself to look at the "on sale" items at Levenger, never the new items...

Have you guys seen

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:55:50 -0500

Has anyone seen or used this sutff from Royce Leather ?
Looks like some cool stuff.

What size are the rings?

frano — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 05:57:21 -0500

This PDA is tempting me to try Circa - but what size are the rings? Their web page says silver but doesn't say how many pages it will hold. Maybe Ryan knows?
