I'm developing my own persoanl Student Hack at the moment. Seems to be going ok but I'm still tweaking it and trying to get into the habit of using it and keeping it on me all the time!

Here's my Student Light-Hack. No internal modifications, but I use a combination of books specifically taylored to my needs. -- Image 2 -- Image 3 ----- I use the 12 month Planner and the small paper-journals that come in a set of three. Each journal is labeled with the proper subject and then depending on what day it is, I'll strap it the appropriate book to the planner using a 4-way elastic and the elastic that's built into the planner. I also use a P205 0.5 Pentel.

Caped Avenger: How thick are those little journals? I've been thinking of using one alongside the Pocket Diary with notes for to-do's.

Caped Avenger says:
they're really thin. the three combined make the thickness of a regular moleskine. you can compress them together to make them even thinner though.

Oh Moleskines...
I use the plain 3-pack cahiers and a week-per-2-page dairy. Smashing.
Quick question - do you say it like Mole-skin, or Mole-skyn?
I love those city notebooks... I'm gonna have to get me one whether I visit a featured city or not.

I say "moleskin" so I don't sound wierd. But I think it's actually pronounced moleskyne.

actually it is pronounced mol-a-skeen-a, /mɔləˈskinə/ (italian in root), so i suppose that either transliterations of moleskine or moleskeen are acceptable.

A lot of people at my work use these, and I've seen some with theirs "branded". Basically looks like someone took a hard metal version of a company logo and pushed it really hard into the cover. It looks awesome, but I haven't figured out a way to do this for anything else. I wish I had a picture to explain what I'm talking about. I really want to do it.

if you figure out how they branded them then please let me know. sounds wonderful.

Shawn Blanc says:
I bet you could draw the logo you wanted branded and then take a blunt point and 'draw' in your brand by pushing down hard like your coloring in the lines...
Never heard of this, but I'll have to try it out. Sounds sweet.

i don't know if this works with leather, but i know it works with velvet:
you can have a stamp (rubber or metal) made with whatever you want. then you put it on the underside of the fabric, and then use an iron to 'crush' it ... it will only crush the raised part where the stamp is embossing and you can detail velvet and other synthetic materials that way. again - i don't know if this works with leather, and it surely wouldn't work with leather ontop of thick cardboard (like the moleskine cover.) But you could maybe heat up a metal stamp really hot and then literally brand the logo into the leather.

this group is great, except that my moleskines are all from the plain notebook family.
so are you a graph paper elitist? are you going to kick me out?

I'm a moleskin newbie. Found it this past January and I think I might get addicted. Is there a good place online to get them? ~ peace, love & twinkies ~
