I saw this picture from fellow Chronodex user Nuno Lorenco from Portugal a few weeks ago, couldn't stop coming back to it. I guess it was because of the caffeine, the writings and the admiration of obsessions. Continue reading

Oh gee its been months since I updated Scription. Other than writing short posts on my Instagram feed I could hardly find time to write anything at all. We are terribly under manpower, two Assistant Buyer head counts yet to... Continue reading

In such a short period of time, Karen Yang has achieved what I've been dreaming for so long, I hope to visit her shop Tools to Liveby soon. But of course she would be facing a whole new set of... Continue reading

My pile of Field Notes laid dormant for a while because they tend to bleed with my fountain pen or roller balls. On a surprising turn of events (meeting Tsuchihashi san and his idea note), I realized I hadn't been... Continue reading

A truly great man passed away tonight, his silent teachings burned into my soul; Compromises and mediocrity I will fight, to make honorable stories worth be told. Continue reading

The Field Notes Expedition Edition has some weird characters, you are bound to have flaws if you are too good at certain things. Here's where it failed :) The most interesting thing I found from this series of lab tests... Continue reading

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this news from friend and Traveler's Notebook fanatics at Miscellaneous, whom also operates Travelers-notebook.com for the European market (origin: Amsterdam). Nop, I know nothing about it yet, but here's what I've learned... Continue reading

Perhaps not long later. Soon I will need to work on the Jul-Dec version, I hope Chronodex fans will not get tired of always having to wait.
Oh haven't replied you yet, it is done. Sorry for the late reply.
感謝您對我的分享有共鳴,也感受到您的「高興」:) 可放膠捲的皮革套是我從日本朋友的店中購買的:http://monogram.co.jp Monogram設計,Roberu(http://roberu.com)手作生產,現在不知仍有否發售。 以下是一些Flickr相片,當中有Monogram的,也有我自己參照Monogram所造的,可放兩卷。 http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/4579229494/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/3825931367/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/4621838799/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/5893919978/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/moleskineart/6835153409/ 希望您喜歡,有興趣自己造嗎? BTW, 您突然發現我的blog,很想知道您是怎樣連結過來的呢?

Hey thanks Justine! Certainly. It will happen around Sep/Oct I believe, must work hard to make it happen. You don't know how hard it is to make a simple thing like this to happen in our commercial HK :P
Thanks Howe, at this stage I doubt that would happen. Many GREAT Japanese books about stationery were not being translated, that's sad. To make you drool, I can guess a little what's said inside and I'm already very happy about what I learned :)
Natalie, Mr. Tsuchihasi said it is not available on any retail shop. However, his product is made by 3M and is available from its online shop here: http://www.3monlinestore.jp/shop/contents2/allabout01.aspx Although he doubts if they ship overseas. You can send email to ask though. Like Justine said below, probably Muji has something similar. Let us know if you can finally get what you look for.
Thanks a lot Robyn!!! :) Sweet to hear. Yes that was a great 15 minutes ride, with 3 new friends I met in Tainan. Will keep you in mind whenever I plan to write new posts. Have a great 2013!

Hi Kamil, sorry for the late reply. Mine is F, it is REALLY enough for me, I write tiny words on my Chronodex, it is good enough. Unless you want to do very fine drawings I am sure F is enough for normal use. Let me know your final decision and see if I'm correct.

Hi Lin, thanks for your thoughtful presence! I certainly want to be more productive, next step is to become a super man. Wish you a wonderful new year. I hope you've started using Chronodex without my Korean holiday version, I couldn't do it in time..... :(

Hi Jill, Coronado version will not come out from me, sorry!!! Please read comments to JCM and Nicky above. Sorry!
Hi JCM, thanks a lot!!!! I am so sorry! Please read the above reply I gave to Nicky! :(
Hi Nicky! Sorry for the late reply! Yeh I feel terrible not being able to handle things like this, on one hand it is disappointing people, on the other I really want to spend enough time meeting needs but my work and family can't allow me to do that. I've released editable version to some but they did not commit as promised, so I got to protect it for a while so that I can find resource to handle its future. Rubber stamp, I hate the irresponsible manufacturer, whom spent time with Filofax but not me. Anyway, working to find a new one. It was 90% finished with very good quality (my standard), just that they stopped responding right after that. Sorry Nicky!!!!! Any suggestion from you is welcome, please do share your thoughts also on the Chronodex facebook page, I hope my situation is understandable.
Oh no no no, don't put it in recycle bin!!!!! Let's contact Boston and find out. Anyway, I think he can proudly retire coz I can't imagine the pain he is going through, give him a new set of teeth when the rest of his body can't take it :) Sorry for the late reply though.
