High, Low Tech

Moleskine enthusiasts go online to post blogs and user tips. They sometimes lace submissions with technology lingo, such as "hyperlink" and "firewire." Here are excerpts from Internet hot spots:

"I buy Moleskines every few months, whether I need them or not. I buy the Van Gogh green ones, the small ones, the blank ones, the lined ones -- I have a shelf full of them, as if they are a treasure. And they are a treasure."

"Just a quick hello. Bought a large ruled Moleskine for my software engineering/architecture notebook for work. Absolutely love its style. Now the obsession has begun: I bought a pocket one for keeping notes and personal journaling."

"Most of all, it soothes. In my digital world, the Moleskine calms me; evokes the intimacy of handwritten 'Thank You' notes and of good manners. It's a friend saying, 'Let's sit, let's dream.' My latest dream? A Moleskine with firewire."
