== Notebooks ==


'''Ana Reinert:''' Three ring notebooks are a bad thing. Three ring binders. Don't like those at all.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What about the Japanese?

'''Ana Reinert:''' I want to like them, but no.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What about Japanese versions? Have you ever thought about that? That just hit me while you're talking about them.

'''Ana Reinert:''' I have tried. And I mean, a lot of people, a lot of people have said, you know, just flip them over and just always use the backside of the paper. But if you're working on something like, you know, sticking in additional insert pages that people have given you and stuff, then the writing is on one side of the paper and then the other.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And I've never understood ringed binders. Like I've never understood why anybody would want to use them because no matter who you are, it's not comfortable 50% of the time. I've never got it. I've never been able to really use ringed notebooks. Like binders or notebooks. I've always found it very strange.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Spiral bound, yeah, is also the same thing. I mean, I guess the advantage there is that you can at least fold it over so that it's not quite as bad. But yeah, maybe that's why field notes are so popular. They're comfortable for lefties and righties.

'''Myke Hurley:''' There you go. And Moleskine too. You know, all those ordeals.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Any of those, any of the hardback or books that lay flat.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Cool.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, guys and gals, I think that's a wrap for this episode. I think it was awesome. And like I said, I learned a lot. So I hope everyone else did. And yeah, it's a great topic. And it's one that comes up constantly. So I'm glad we could get some things down. And we'll probably revisit. We'll probably have some questions and corrections or some recommendations from other lefties out there. So definitely get in touch with us. I think, Myke, you have all the details?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, you can be sure that I do. You can get in touch with Brad on Twitter. And he is at dowdyism, D-O-W-D-Y-I-S-M. I am iMike, I-M-Y-K-E. And Anna is at well, W-E-L-A-P-P-T-D-E-S-K. So well-apt desk. And Brad also writes penaddict.com. And Anna writes wellappointeddesk.com.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. Well, thank you so much, Anna, for coming back. I'm glad we didn't scare you off the first time.

'''Ana Reinert:''' No, you did not.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. Good. Good. Well, we're definitely going to have you back again because I love having you on. Me too.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Thank you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And we'll be back next week with the penaddict. I believe it's just me and you next week.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' At this point, it is just me and you. This will be our first guest list episode in like four weeks or something. We've had three in a row. I'm scared. Yeah, I know. I'm not sure I'm ready for next week. So I've got a week to figure it out, don't I? Tell Brad what you want to hear us talk about. That's always a good thing. Yep. Always let me know. I'm always open to topics.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And they can email you. Thepenaddict at gmail.com. Yep. Excellent stuff. So we'll be back next week. Thanks so much for listening. Thank you to Anna for joining us. And thank you, Brad, as always. We'll be back next week. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

'''Ana Reinert:''' Bye.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Bye-bye.
