in reply to OT: Favorite notebooks and pens
Best pens for me are the uni-ball micro pens from Mistubishi.
My co-workers try to steal them from me but I buy them myself as my company only buys generic ball points. Easy to hold and great for scribbling with.
For notebooks I tend to just use whatever is in the office though I do like the moleskien books. Almost too nice for scribbling in though :)
