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...

Interesting idea, Stew. I...

Interesting idea, Stew. I was thinking along those lines as well. Rollabind offers a set of 6 covers for $20 and a set of 5 dividers for $4. That would probably work for a while for under $25. Their punch is only about $5 cheaper than the Levenger one, but every little bit helps...

Do you have any experience with the quality of the Rollabind paper refills? How does it compare to the Levenger paper?

When I was doing the D*I*Y Planner thing, I was using bright white (113 brightness) 28 pound paper and it was really nice.

Edited to add: I was about to purchase covers, tabs, and a punch from Rollabind with "standard" shipping, but when I priced covers, tabs, and a punch from Levenger it was $6 cheaper with rush shipping! The only difference is that Rollabind sends 3 sets of covers instead of 2, but I can live with that to keep giving Levenger my business.

Is there a 12-Step Process for Levenger addictions? I can't keep spending money like this!!

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. »
