Rhodia

new desktop

I’m such a fanboy. My new notebook (a Rhodia) arrived last week, and of course I make a desktop to match. Jeer if you want, but it makes me happy.

So far, I love the garish orange color, the easy perf flip cover, and the engineer-geek-designer feel of the notebook. And the paper is lovely to write upon. The graph grid is a fine purple, which works well. I’m not crazy about lightly perfed pages, however, that tear off when you so much as think about flipping them. And me, I like to keep my notebook intact, so this is more useful as a disposable pad of sorts. It doesn’t suit journal-style. Perhaps I’ll try a spiral bound version next.
