You’d think that South by Southwest Interactive 2008 would be the most wired place in the country. However, the wireless continues to reach max capacity and completely fold under the pressure during the most popular panels. My T-Mobile service on my Blackberry is also in SOS mode about 75% of the time. What does that mean?
It means that my trusty pocket Moleskine notebook has become note taking device, chatpad, and general capture apparatus. Talk about analog multitasking.

I just blew the dust off of mine. Glad I brought it. Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to bust it out right now.

I love Moleskines. Having said that, I recently found (at Targét) a set of notebooks that I would almost swear came from the same factory in China. They are very nicely split-leather bound in black or brown, and even have the pocket in the back. They come in the “mini” and “diary” sizes.
Best news: they’re almost exactly half the price. I’ve been carrying one for about three weeks in my back pocket, and it still looks like new. Even has that leather smell.
