That's right folks, even in this age of BlackBerries, Treos and iPhones, the old school Moleskine notebook is making a comeback. According to Buzz Feed, my source for all things hip and hot, leather-bound notebooks are gaining a cult following as a low-tech PDA. GTD freaks and creative types - and those who are both - love the mini form factor of the Moleskine.
Sure, they don't have spell check, a web browser, calendar and built in calculator, but Moleskine notebooks (pronounced 'mol-a-skeen'-a') offer a place for us to exercise our most important geek muscle: our minds. Of course it helps that Moleskine journals have a history of popularity with artists, writers, intellectuals and travelers. How trendy are they? Companies like Moleskine US have gotten into the game by creating collection after collection of notebooks, including a line named after trendy cities like Paris, Prague, Rome, New York City and Barcelona. They cost $16.

I think these are really cute . I love writing . Sometimes a PDA just doesn't do justice .
1Whenever I take a major vacation, I always take a notebook to jot down memories. It's great to read them later. It's surprising what you forget.
2The New York one is on my list of things to buy !
3Hot new trend? These have always been cool with the art scene! Way to catch on mainstreamers!
4I use my Moleskine every day - love it.
5I love it! I want to get the New York one for myself!
6i love my moleskin! the paper is delicious!!
now i just need a space pen
7I love my Moleskin as well - everytime I write in it, I feel like I'm divulging all my secrets in a luxurious little notebook! I think I had one for every year I was in college ...
8these are trendy? My
mom has had them for years. They make them with music
paper too, which is really cool. They make really good gifts as well...
9I have one, I find it more reliable than my blackberry, at least I don't have to worry about resetting the system sonce in a while...actually moleskin and blackberry look good together
10This is the first I've heard of them...
11As much as I love technology, I adore having a pencil and paper for doodles, lists and journaling. That can't be replicated in electronic form.
12I love pocket journals and have always had one with me for the past 3 years! Rarely doers anything actually important goes in besides the random mess of neurosis that is my overactive mind but I rarely forget anything carrying it around! I'm almost in need of a re-up so I'm eying this from Etsy http://www.moleskine.com/eng/_interni/catalogo/Cat_int/catalogo_cahiers....
13whoops, wrong link - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6337761
Another reason to love these pocket journals: it evens my wallet out for comfortable sitting
14My Moleskine address book is sitting on my desk as I write this. There is no better backup than having it on paper. I love the Moleskine brand.
15There's something fun about having a little notebook and a pen, rather like the little diaries one would keep as a girl.
16I love to write in notebooks...it's so much more personal than typing letters into something electronic.
17I bought one of these for an ex boyfriend. He was not at all into anything material and this was the perfect gift. He loved it. Write on!
18My little secret, I write all my passwords down in a moleskin. It will never crash and I can always access it, and it feels so sexy LOL.
19I love Moleskine books - I have several. I have the NYC city guide and have recorded my memories from two trips there. I hope to get back there soon and add to the good memories. I also use the 18month planner and have several of the new volant books. These are the perfect notebooks!
