Tilly hat

quarterdane — Sat, 6 Nov 2010 10:31:43 -0400

I'm guessing that the tilly hat is the object hanging just under the bicycle helmet in the article's photograph. (The bicycle helmet is in the upper right corner.) It took me a minute to realize that the photo is not just a random shot of someone's storeroom -- it's the PLANNER.

ROFL

Excellent food, but a little pricey, which is what you would expect from a French Restaraunt.

lol

Notepods-I'm not impressed

scrivener — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 00:24:09 -0500

I bought the Notepods more out of curiosity than anything else. It is an Australian company and they are straight up about their product, if only a little hazy on details.
These are essentially notepads that have been bound at the top like a regular notepad. The cover is only on the bottom and is not very heavy. Plan on holding it fully in one hand while you write on it (or use a table). Because of the gummed/cemented top (whatever it is called) the note sheets come off verrrrry easily and often when you don't want to separate them at that moment. The paper is lightweight (probably around 15#)and fountain pens and gel pens leak through. Quite a bit smaller than a 3x5 card but bigger than a business card. They work well if you plan to tape or glue them onto a Moleskine page. The grid is great, as long as what you are drawing is small. I do a lot of stats and charts and I can fit the general idea onto them, but the values are so big you lose a lot of detail. I tried a simple floor plan for remodeling the bathroom and it wouldn't hold a lot of detail. With the bleed-through it was a no-win.
If you like small gummed notepads these are great. But if you need or want more, stick with Moleskine or 3x5 cards. I'll use them until they are gone but they will be used only for idea capture and then into the inbox. I'll go back to Rhodia after that.
If someone with Notepod is reading this, use a better binding system, heavier covers on both front and back, heavier paper stock (24#), and maybe lower the price. (By the way, I liked the flat shipping charge to anywhere in the world.) If Notepod did this I would buy another set!

bonjour!

iPnone note pads

LindaLikesPurple — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:48:38 -0500

OMG - I couldn't rationalize spending that much money on note pads, and why in Heaven's name would I want to import paper from halfway around the world? That is insane!!! (Even if they are really cute.)

But, I totally love grid paper - Great for creating EVERYTHING from layouts of docs, interiors, gardens, schematics of knitting patterns and scrapbooking pages, logos and lettering experiments, and the list goes on and on and on. And doodling and drawing... And I would be in heaven becuse these would fit in my pocket with the matching phone. All the other kids would be so jealous of my matching phone and notebook thing. ;-) (I heart my phone - I can see the numbers!!!)

I'm totally schizophrenic because I love paper and I love technology. It's easier to communicate with the teenagers and DH via texts and emails, and at least one of my kids uses the family Google calendar. But paper is so much more fun. And it's really difficult to draw on my phone or laptop while waiting for an appointment or while sitting on hold with tech support or while trying to stay awake during a meeting.

TNX for the template link!!! I think I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas: printable index cards or a really good paper cutter. Maybe DD will be getting a cute little note pad... The possibilities are endless.

You all have made my day!!!!
