Back to the PocketMod (033/365)

No picture today.  'Cause... I didn't feel like it.  :P

Anywho.  For the longest time, I've been on the lookout for a good EDC notebook.  I've tried the "Fauxlant"  (see my post on that here), Hipster PDA (hPDA), a folded sheet of paper, and the PocketMod.

The Pocket Mod was the first thing that I'd ever used when I started to want to carry paper on me.  It worked perfectly fine, but I felt that I wanted more from it (at least, at the time I did).  After much searching, I came upon the hPDA.  I love index cards.  They're a little more durable than normal filler paper and they're a great size to carry around.  It just got to be a hassle using the binder clip, binder rings, and Circa/Rollabind system.  From there, I switched to a regular spiral 3x5" memo pad.  I like it.  But the spiral got in the way.

The "Fauxlant..."  Hmm... I guess if I wasn't so lazy, I'd still use it.  hahaha  They're great!  If I had the money, I'd buy the Moleskine Volant XS.  Alas, I do not.  So by all means, I make my own.  But lately, I've been either too busy with school and work or too lazy.  Perhaps on one of my lazy days, I'll get up off of my butt and make a bunch at one time and have a small stockpile of them.

I rediscovered the PocketMod some time in the summer.  I was working Security at the local fair and forgot my memo pad at home.  I found a sheet of paper, busted out Blurple, and made a "pocket mod" type notebook.  I loved it.  It gave me the option of a booklet with the thickness and "strength" of an hPDA without the annoyance of the spiral binding.

The other thing I like about the PocketMod (or even better, the RePocketMod) is that it's got plenty of templates to choose from.  In the case of the RePocketMod, they've even got the DIYPlanner templates.

Freaken awesome stuff.  :)  Now I can't get over it.  I love that I can make it on the fly, as well, so long as I have access to a sheet of paper.  It's a great temporary use until I start making those fauxlants.  Currently though, my RePocketMod will reside happily inside my wallet.  :)

Cheers!
