Wallet suggestions

Can any of you help me with my quest of a good GTD wallet:

It should not be complicated but I have not found anything yet, here are my specs:

1) 2 cash slots (one for cash, one for receipts for my expense account)

2) a few credit card slots

3) Index card holder, or notepad

4) small pen

---------------

Once I have this I will be set ... one of my biggest problems is not writing down things that I need to do when I am on the road and then forgetting them or stressing about forgetting them.

if you can help me I will be eternally grateful

Cheers

I have my eye on...

I have my eye on this, which I think fits the bill exactly. Not designed as a wallet, but it would work perfectly well as one, and doesn't have extraneous stuff. http://www.levenger.com/PAGETEMPLATES/PRODUCT/Product.asp?Params=Category=11-76|PageID=2269|Level=2-3

For those who don't feel like checking the URL, it's a small, skinny leather case that folds like a book. It has two pockets for 3x5 cards, 2 pockets for business or credit cards, a pocket with a window for your ID, a sleeve for a pen, a pocket for bills and a pocket for receipts. It's $44, which is sort of pricy, although I notice one of the colors is on sale for 20 bucks. I have some of their other leather stuff, and I've been happy with the quality. They also have overpriced 3x5 cards which I have to admit are pretty nice--the card stock is heavy and very smooth. Good for fountain pen geeks like myself, although I personally wouldn't carry an FP in this case.

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. »
