Making Your Own Pocket Notebooks

I really like using pocket notebooks or also know as pocket mods. The hard part for most people is folding them. I used to include the directions for how to fold them but this takes a whole page of paper, so I stopped including them.

I have included this video to make it much easier for everyone to fold their own pocket notebook.

Prototype This
Discovery Channel has just put a new TV series together for Inventors and Innovators call “Prototype This”.

I think this is great to show inventors how to get started with new ideas and take them through the innovations process.

Everyone should take the time to watch this show and teach others how to invent and innovate.

Make your calendars for Wednesday nights and don’t miss this show!

INNOVATION NEWS

Futuristic Innovations Are Born On New Discovery Channel Series

The Week In Review is about drawing pictures to show what happened during the week. I think this should be expanded to include projects, ideas, and events in our lives on a weekly basis. This could be a picture diary covering what is going on.

These could also be used for covering new inventions, innovations, or ideas and showing how they relate like a weekly mindmap.

Give it a try and let me know if it works for you in the comments section.

Great book for all you inventors! Make always makes nice products. No pun intended. But I’m not sure if I’m ready to give up my Moleskine notebooks yet.

Has anyone got one of this Make Notebooks? What do you think?

What is the Maker’s Notebook?
A 170-page project notebook optimized for Makers. The book contains 150 pre-numbered, non-removable pages of 1/8″ engineering graph paper with a place on each page for Idea/Project Title, Date, and a Notes/Signature field. There are also “From Page _____” and “To Page _____” fields, so you can link project pages together, and two blank Table of Contents pages. The Maker’s Notebook was designed to conform to basic standards of inventor, engineer, and laboratory notebooks.
