== Pocket Notebooks ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So you keep all the grabby. I like to call it the grabby hands. You let the grabby hands take the stuff you're not going to miss and keep your good stuff stashed away.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Exactly. Typical for me in my breast suit pocket. Yep. Which is currently where the, that's where the prayer is living. Ah, good. Because I'm taking that to work with Mirri Day because that is where, I mean, and then, you know, sometimes I'll break out of the show notes. But right now I'm using the .38 Muji that I spoke about last week. Okay. Yeah. I've been enjoying that, but I am also, I do also really enjoy using the prayer for the show notes as well because it's quite fine. Yeah. Especially when, because I write these show notes in a field notes book. So having a, having a final tip is good for that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Now, I know you like the field notes. Do they leave the, do they ever leave the house with you? Do you do that type of thing like I do? Like I always carry one in my pocket somewhere.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I always have two field notes books in my rucksack.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But I also, my, my main notebook for work is a Pac-Man at the moment. It's a Pac-Man special edition Moleskine. It's yellow, bright yellow. And it's got an embossed Pac-Man logo all over it. I love them. I bought a couple of them. I've got one of the small ones as the Cahiers as well, which is black. And it's got a Pac-Man logo on the front.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's one thing I know. I didn't really bag on Moleskine last, last week, but you know, as far as paper wise, we talked about paper quality, but one thing they do do right is they do their, their, the branding and marketing is pretty cool, especially with the Pac-Man stuff. The Star Wars stuff's killer.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I've got the Star Wars ones and I want to get some of the Lego ones, but I've not yet bought them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They have a whole new series of Star Wars ones coming out this year.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I've seen those. They're pretty cool. They've got like Yoda quotes and stuff on the front of them. Yeah. Yeah. I've got, I've got both of the Star Wars ones. The, um, there's one where it's just stars and it's got the, like a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Those are cool.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, and I've got the one where it looks like you're in warp speed.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' See, I haven't bought any because I would just, I would just buy them to, to collect them. And that's the last, I don't, you should see my stash right as it is right now.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, it's, it's embarrassing.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, I, but I do use, I use a combination because mainly the main thing in my life that I use notebooks for now was the show notes. Every podcast on the network has got its own book, um, ranging from field notes to moleskins. Okay. Um, there isn't really a lot of rhyme or reason for why I use either. It's just what, you know, kind of the stuff that I have around or whatever. Um, but I mean the field notes I enjoy because they're nice and small and compact and they're easier to keep. I mean, maybe in the future I will use more field notes than moleskins and because they're just easier to stack around. Um, but I, I say I use the moleskin for work mainly, but I also have a couple of field notes in there in case I may be a big project starts or something like that. And I want to keep a specific book for it. Right. Um, I can carry around the field notes in my bag without adding too much weight. Like if I had like three or four moleskins just in my bag ready to be used and my bag's going to be very heavy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Now, are you, are you crazy like me and by all the different colors, field notes series that come out or you stick with the basic ones?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Um, I've only ever bought one pack of field notes myself, which was the, um, the ones with the transfers. They were the first few notes that I bought. Um, and then I've had, you sent me some.
