in reply to OT: Favorite notebooks and pens

My notepad of choice for quite some time has been a simple Steno Pad from AMPAD, spiral bound at the top with green paper. I've found that the green is easier on the eyes than white or yellow if you're reading it for a while.

My pen of choice varies regularly, but is always a Parker. They were made in my hometown until the Gillete a-holes shut down the factory.
