Napkin Notebook: An Idea so Good, It Must Have Been Written on a Napkin
Posted by Sean Fallon at 11:30 AM on November 21, 2007
It is no secret that many of the best ideas are doodled down on a napkin in a moment of inspiration. Now you can keep the ideas flowing at all times thanks to this spiral-bound cocktail napkin notebook. It even comes with its own pen for optimum napkin doodling effectiveness. Now if they could only harness the inspirational power of the toilet, we would be on the brink of a second Renaissance. Available soon. [Product Page via IBIA via Electro Plankton]

it would be cute to see restaurant review notes scribbled on these, complete with little stains of rasberry purée.
and it's only a matter of time until some perv turns this into his weekly wank diary. "Look - first it's a spooge rag... and then it's a diary!"

@Terranova: Watching your mind wander (cute -> restaurants -> raspberry puree -> wanking -> spooge) is a fascinating thing.
If only I had a napkin handy to doodle my thoughts about it.

I disagree. The best ideas are written on toilet paper.

SMEEE: I too was looking for the 'Laptop Napkin version 2.0'. The Tech in me was expecting nanobots.

I can't wait to see this in action. Can you imagine being at a restaurant and some guy is surrounded by napkin paper, but instead he pulls out his napkin notepad to start writing his ideas. I would burst out laughing.
I write my best ideas in the palm of my hand. When is the hand notepad version coming out?

@omg-ponies: BTW - this is a feature that Apple should be leading the pack in. C'mon. The iPhone is marketed as the "hipster" cell phone (when it's not marketed as the perfect phone for douchebags. Why not have the star rating system that you can use on your music also be available for the phonebook? That's an iPhone ad I'd love to see.

Speaking of things scrawled on napkins, someone needs to come up with a device to help keep track of random women's phone numbers that you get after going out drinking.
I have phone numbers from 2 years ago. For the life of me, I can't remember these women? Did I call them after? How hot were they really? I know one of them belongs to a real cute Jewish girl from Manchester who likes Premiere League football (soccer), but I can't remember which one she is.
I also can't go around calling them because I'm in a committed relationship (the numbers predate the relationship). How can I sort out the chaff from the wheat in my cell-phone "li'l black book"? If Apple can let you rate songs with stars on your iPod, why can't Moto or Sammy or Nokia do the same in the phone book?

@omg-ponies:
Try a REAL phone M8.
WM6 devices allow you to categorize almost any kind of calendar/contact data for easy sorting/searches.
Depending on how good a hunter you WERE, you could have dozens of "Jewish" or "ManU" or "Soccer Mom" dataprey at your fingertips.
