Bit the bullet... ordered a Levenger Circa Jr.

Well, after much contemplation, I went ahead and ordered a Levenger Circa in the Jr. size. I went with the red color and had it customized with my intials.

I also ordered the tab dividers, grid paper refill, and combo puncher of the desktop and travel punch. Pretty pricey, but I think I will get a lot of use out of this notebook.

Per my question on emory's review thread, I found this link to someone who has had a letter size of the Levenger Circa for a while and describes how he uses it.

How I use my Levenger Circa.

I'll post up some pix to my flickr account when I get to opening it and how I pimp it out...heh...

Don't say that! Between you, Alan...

Between you, Alan from Seat 1A, and Stew you are giving me buyer's remorse on the Junior size purchase...

Buyer's remorse? Nonsense! Actually, if you really want a letter size, you can always just get plastic covers and 11 rings. This will file both letter reference pages and your junior-sized notes. If I ever decide to upgrade to leather and give in to Levenger's refills, this might be the route I take. I really like the junior size, but it was too time consuming to make my own. I currently keep several letter-sized notebooks, mostly filled with reference material.

Ironman, maybe we should just visit the new Levenger store in Tysons and "experiment" with both sizes. I hear they are giving away test notebooks as part of their grand opening. They've told me mid-December, but they do have a kiosk in front of the store. :)
Update: from a previous post, I see you've seen the kiosk. Looks like I will wait until Dec. 16th.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
