== Notebooks ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay, so a bunch of people have sent me the link to this. And I looked at it. And what it is, it's a set of three notebooks. And basically, or maybe it might be four. I don't know if there's a quantity. But basically, the binding has magnets in it. So these three notebooks will kind of snap in together. And you can carry them all as one. They separate individually. But you can stack them and sort them and carry them as one. These are by the guys that did, they're called Orange Monkey. They did the Foldio, the little iPhone light box thing that I ordered. Yeah, Orange Monkey. Which they did a really good job on the Foldio. I was really happy with this. And a bunch of people wanted my input on this MagNote. And there's really nothing to say. I mean, it's just a notebook.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It seems it's fine. They have, it is nice that you can pick and choose your options. You can choose the type of paper you want. You can even do a, you can have a planner, a blank line graph. I think they might even have a dot. I can't remember. No, they don't have a dot.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I just don't see the functionality of the magnet piece of it. But if you want to buy a notebook and help support these guys, it seems cool. But I just don't see the additional benefit of having these bound by magnets to keep them all together. Do you see that, Myke?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I don't, I don't get it. You can just stack them. Yeah. Like, I don't know. I mean, the things that they're doing that are interesting is some of the decisions that they're making with the way that they're doing their paper. Exactly. That's more interesting to me in the way that they're doing the interesting sort of like, the little paper stars. And they've got that little clock. What's that clock calendar thing?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I always relate it back to the chronodex, which I first read about from Patrick Ng's inscription. But they're calling it, God, they're just calling it the mag planner. But it's basically, it's a clock-based planner. They're calling it the time circle. So it's basically this circular to-do kind of app, scheduling planning to-do kind of app. And I've never read the whole theory behind it. But it's popular in certain different formats. So they're having some pre-printed. You can get a notebook pre-printed with their time clock system. Or time circle system, I should say. But yeah, if you look up chronodex, it's the same type of system. And I don't know the full origination behind it. You know what? We need to get Patrick Ng on here one day. That guy would be an awesome guest. I'm writing that down right now. Patrick Ng. Expect an email from me. I don't even know. I don't think he listens. But I will be calling you. Yeah, maybe we can learn more about the chronodex system. It's really cool looking. I don't... It seems like it's got a high barrier to entry. But I could be wrong. If anyone...

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I look at it and think it looks cool. But I have literally no idea what I would do with it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' If any listeners out there use a chronodex type system, email me. I just want to learn about it. And tell me if it's functional for you. Because every time I see a picture of one in use, I'm like, man, that's beautiful. It makes this beautiful output. But I don't know the function... I don't understand the functionality of it. So...

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you know someone who might be trying it? Hmm? Our friend Joshua Ginter. Ginter. Yeah. I felt when I googled... That's right. Chronodex.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. He has... That he wrote. He has done a post on that before. So, uh... We should have asked him. That guy. That's just more reason to bring him back, uh... Next time.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You just won't go away now.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Back off, Josh. These people, huh? Ha ha ha ha.
