Mokeskine Journal Everywhere I turned, it seemed someone was fussing about Moleskine and creating a new hack. Frankly, I never cared to try it until I was hold up in a Borders one day. From the corner of my eye, I saw a small stack of them and decided it wouldn’t hurt to see what the fuss was about.

For only $7 for a pack of 3 small ones (I opted for the ones without lines so I could have a bit more freedom), it seemed like a decent buy — so I’d have to do without my Venti Coffee Frappuccino and Rice Crispy square for a day.

Well, after testing out a few pages, which took a lot of will power because I didn’t even want to defile its pages, I must say it’s pretty slick. The weight of the page is just right. I used it with my favorite Stabilo pen and it didn’t soak through to the other side — you can still see the writing from the other side, it just didn’t soak through. That means it’s doing well so far.

I’ll have to continue playing around with them for a few more days before I have my final verdict.
