If you’re an avid DIY builder, a builder of gadgets, or a soldering master you could use a Moleskine to catch your thoughts, but there is a specialized notebook out there for you guys called the Maker’s Notebook.

It contains 150 pages of engineering graph paper which you can use to jot down ideas, notes or whole wiring diagrams if you need to. The really cool thing is how the notebook is printed to help organize. It has page numbers which is quite rare, a two page, pre-ruled table of contents, and also blank fields on each page for project names and so on. This makes it really easy to find everything later on, which is a part of note taking many people overlook.

Apparently this notebook is pretty populer with DIY project people, like Tom Igoe, creator of the popular Arduino board. Customizing the front end is also a big deal, a lot of people use stickers and other items to mod theirs.

It’s a tad pricier that the Moleskine, but since it is a highly specialized notebook, and quite thick with 150 pages, the price seems well worth it to me, a Moleskine in Europe would probably be priced the same.
