anotheranonI recieved my new address books earlier this week, but was only able to start updating them tonight.
D. doesn't always understand my analog preferences. He does all of his address management through his PDA and Contacts folder. I do too (or at least the Contacts folder - I've not really used my hand-me-down Visor yet), but I like being able to have a physical object to carry around with me, something I can flip open and write something in. No batteries, no electricity involved.
And there's just something nice about plain black covers, good quality paper that pixels can't replace. The address books (one for home, one for bag) and mini notebook are by Moleskine, which I confess I like not only for their elegant simplicity but for the snob factor (Van Gogh used them as sketchbooks - hard be much cooler than that :P ).
I'm slowly copying everything over, though I can only write about half an hour at a time before my hand starts to cramp. It's sobering how many I'm leaving out - hopelessly outdated information of college buddies long gone, or relatives who have since passed on.
