Rollabind @ Staples/Target?

I'd need a refill of Rolla rings, and if possible another 2-3 Rollabind 3x5 books (well, it's the covers that I'm after, really). Are these items readily available at Staples/Target? I'm coming to the US soon for a visit and picking them up would obviously be the cheapest option. I ordered from Rollabind about a year ago, it took forever to arrive, shipping cost was bad, but I love the Rollabind system!

thanks!

Well, I never found the...

Well, I never found the Rollabind stuff at Target. I went ahead and ordered the Letter-sized faux leather at Staples (it was the only one in stock).

I got it Friday, and so far I have mixed emotions. The book I got from Staples almost looks used. The rings seem to have been cheaply painted, and the silver paint seems to have chipped off of the rings in a few places. The paper is pretty low-quality too, but usable. The only thing I really like is the faux-leather cover. Even though it's 'fake,' it seems to be of decent quality--decent enough to use for quite a while.

The system itself seems like a pretty good idea, but I would imagine most people would probably want to spring for the Levenger gear (duh). In my opinion, the Rollabind stuff at Staples is perfect for someone like me who wants to see if they can develop a system around this Rollabind/Levenger idea before dropping some serious coin on a notebook.

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. »
