Maker's Notebook

Our friends at MAKE: and O'Reilly have released the "Maker's Notebook," a pocket notebook designed for those who think of grand ideas. And unlike me, actually do them.

• 150 pages of 1/10” engineering graph paper on a 60# Lynx Smooth Opaque recycled paper which can handle everything from mechanical pencils to fountain pens and sharpies.

• 20 pages of reference material optimized for DIY projects, with everything from instructions on basic circuit testing with a digital multimeter, to how to chose LEDs, to what size needles to use in different sewing projects.

• All pages are pre-numbered and non-removable. There’s a field on each page for project label, date, and designer and witness signatures. There are also “From Page___” and “To Page____” fields for threading project pages together.

• Whimsical geekery packed reference pages, including such as variations on Asimov’s Laws of Robotics, the caffeine dosages of various beverages, how to say “Hello, World” in popular programming languages - things that might surprise people and get them talking to each other--for example, “Did you see the Kenny Rogers Rule of Robot Building?”

The hard cover is a blank mega-grid, the better to create your own. It's $20.

Thanks for the mention, Joel. Just a point of clarification: It's actually 6-1/4" x 9-7/8", basically the same dimensions as an issue of MAKE.

And for folks who order it from the Maker Shed, you get two sheets of cool stickers and a 1/2" rubber band closure.
