Still enjoying the heavenly smell of that quality leather, as I open my new journal and thick the task of what I've just done. More precisely I make a small box around the dot and paint it with a smile. I've become addicted to bullet journaling almost as much as to Noise.Cash... Still, a lot to do, because there are days when I didn't open my notebook at all. Yeah, you guessed it> there is no day I don't open Noise.Cash and see what's on Earth are My lovely, noisy, happy little rapscallions are doing, again! >D Back to my journal, if you allow me. This is the present I've bought for my birthday and I mentioned earlier. It's a simple but magical leather journal, made by a small business from Vienna. Quality Italian leather and great paper refilling to them. And yes, I paid entirely with crypto - but there is more in the story so briefly, I'll tell you the significance of this purchase. I like paradoxes or at least quite strange pairs to things. The journal is an absolute primitive tool (I mean it in the best possible way) moreover I paid for it in a futuristic way. Although there are a ton of app for writing some great lines (and I used a ton of them, I even wrote articles about using them)... after a decade, I remembered the simple pleasure of writing manually with pen and paper. I mentioned before what other mobile phones I used (you find it here> https://noise.cash/post/1rn3nv8p ). I always loved the technology and I still love it, don't get me wrong... but I realised after tapping the glass on the smartphones and tablets, that's something magical about the real buttons. That's why I switched to a Blackberry Passport for a brief time. The tactile feeling is a must for me. Maybe, because I'm a man. And I like grabbing things. Although I'm involved in futuristic thoughts, and theoretical work, a well build pocket knife, an axe still gives me joy when I'm working in the garden, or I've got an itch to build things, do things or simply just destroy things because I'm sick of it and it's time to rebuild again. This time in a much better way. Also, no matter how many gadgets I have, and how much I love the newest and brightest piece of technology, a classical object for a simple task is more appealing. Maybe, because of the craftsmanship that goes in it, or the quality of it... Or that I know, it will have a long life in my bag, on my desk. Just a thought, a silly thing really, but these small things sometimes have so many values, even more than fancy equipment... and with the patina, and scratches after a long period of time... even more noble and interesting. Don't you think? Do you like writing on paper, with pen or pencil too? What would you prefer still in an old fashioned way - no matter how fast technology will accelerate? Have a great day, and I'm looking forward to your answers in the comments!
