(via Moleskinerie, BoingBoing)

I liked the look of this Moleskine hack, but I'd never do it myself, for a couple of reasons. The first is that I have firsthand experience of cutting out chunks of pages with a Stanley knife: from making the secret compartment/hidden USB drive hidden in an old book as a present for my girlfriend (she actually thought it was cool, which surprised me, because I thought I was the only person I knew who thought that sort of thing was cool.) It gets very messy, and it takes forever to slice through all the pages.

The other reason is that I couldn't really bring myself to cut into a Moleskine, no matter how much more productive it would make me... they're just too perfect as they are!
