i know that the title of this blog is technology&education, but allow me to digress for this instant. call me old-fashioned, but i enjoy pushing pen on paper as much as the next guy, but with my quick-paced & mobile lifestyle, it is difficult to lug a notebook & pen with me wherever i go. i have carried a moleskine notebook around in the past, but i find it too cumbersome to become a part of my everyday wardrobe. my friend, ricky, introduced me to a great compact notebook that is perfect for my need. it is with this pay it forward mentality that i'd like to extoll the praises of field notes.
field notes are made in the usa. they can be ordered in packs of three for a cost of $9.99. you can choose between plain, grid, or ruled notebooks. shipping is extremely fast, as my order was submitted & received within 2 business days. field notes is a perfect blend of utility, design, & detail. it is evident that the good people at field notes care a great deal for their product & their customer. to prove their commitment to customers, orders come with additional "goodies" at no extra charge (it's like christmas). i also respect field notes because the obviously have a sense of humor. look no further than the back interior cover of the notebook for "practical applications," including "half-ass calculations" & "escape routes." if you're looking for a quality notebook to take with you on life's journey, i cannot speak highly enough of field notes.
