"Here's something I think is very cool - Johnny Long, security expert and author of Google Hacking (and more) has relocated to Africa and is blogging his journey via (what appears to be) a Moleskine Cahier..."
Bradley Farless, who describes himself as an "American blogging about life in Singapore and the Philippines" shared his thoughts on his recent purchase:
Above is a page from Moleskinerie translated via MSK into a page for Moleskine notebook.
See how it was done from the actual blog post here, to the MSK printout here.
The MSK format to print your own Moleskine pages have been on for a few of weeks now and we have received lots of comments on it. As with everything else, MSK is a work in progress and can only get better in time and with your suggestions on how to make it better.
We'd like to hear your comments here. Thank you!
Moleskinerie friend AnnaDenise needs your assistance:
I bought a city Moleskine for Brussels a couple of weeks ago and now I
find out they introduced a new metro system, so the map I have in my
City Moleskine is no longer correct.
Do you know if Moleskine will offer stickers or downloadable pdfs to
update the older versions of the book? I looked on their website and
the city blog, but so far haven't been able to find anything. I'm sure
this has happened before in other cities as well?

I
think most of us agree that it feels like defacing a personal
possession when you write in a shiny new Moleskine for the first time.
And a lot of times we hate the idea of other people reading what we've
written (for our own good humor of course).
Has anyone tried
writing under a UV lamp with a special UV pen? The pages would remain
blank and your thoughts would remain secret. I think it'd be a pretty
sweet idea. Granted, not the most portable-friendly idea ever, but
still.

Elliot Essman, James Beard Foundation Award nominee and food writer contemplate his quest for matters fine and essential.
"Wine, women and song are often mentioned in conjunction. In my own case, this is no empty cliché. I’ve been a dedicated music lover all my life, and I could write reams about song. Pick a song title—any song you know well—and see what happens to your heart and mind; you don’t even need to hum it. The song combines music and language, poetry and drama; it can evoke a place, a person, a mood, an image, a hope. A fine wine, tasted under optimal conditions, in the right company, may do the same, but songs tend to be more affordable than high-end wines, they do not suffer from cork taint, and you can store an unlimited number of them in your own brain without ever having to add extra shelving...."
Then, a nod to his favorite notebook.
"...Online dating works in my world. You write, you telephone, you meet, and usually over wine. Sometimes you can’t talk to the wine, and the woman is undrinkable. Other times things seem to be going well in both departments, only to oxidize later on. I travel nowhere without a notebook—it is in fact a Moleskine pad lined with musical staves—but only for the wine; I leave my impressions of people to my memory, or, in the alternative, to my ability to forget...."

Lianne Burwell emailed to tell us that the latest episode of the podcast The Sniffer has one of the topics
described as "Cathi Bond describes the huge popularity of the Moleskine line of notebooks in Japan (via Japan Times)"
"Basically two women -- one of whom is a host on CBC Radio, doing a show called The Spark about technology -- discuss a variety of subjects. Each brings one topic each episode. Episodes are 5-10 minutes long, and are released twice a week..."
Moleskinegal started this thread at our Moleskinerie/FLICKR group:
"I was wondering how other college students use Moleskines. Do you write or make art in them? Take class notes?
If you already graduated college, what do you wish you had in college
journals? (Yes, I know plenty of other people than college students use
Moleskines, but I'm wondering about student uses in particular). I
don't really use them for class notes.
Is there anything you wish you had written down, created (art?), etc.
in college? I found Moleskines halfway through college, and am
wondering what else I should "document" in my Moleskine journals to
look back on later (or learn from now). Should I write more about the
daily routine of college life? The challenges, new experiences,
emotions, life stuff, ... any other ideas? Did you write about the
transition from graduating college to "adult life"?
In the future, I want to be able to look back and understand who I was
in college (what type of person, what I did every day, how I viewed the
world, my opinions on various things). I think it would be fun to look
at later myself (if I don't lose them), or maybe my future kids could
even look at them someday. Any suggestions?"
[insert something clever here] says:
"I'm a little over half way through my undergrad and I (sort of) recently discovered these as well. I have a three notebook system for general lecture notes, subject specific notes, and daily schedules/thoughts..."
