These guys do an amazing job of making the mundane seem exquisite.

There is a marketing and product development lesson here, for sure.

Bootstrapped, Profitable, & Proud: Coudal by Matt Linderman of 37signals

Two quick points. Not every idea is going to work. Know that going in. Ideas tend to follow the path of least resistance and more often than not that path is the one where you find yourself talking an idea to death, by getting hung up on the “what ifs.” So you need to actively push ideas out and embrace failure. Fail spectacularly whenever possible.

Secondly, every single person I have ever met or corresponded with about leaving the work-for-hire world and trying to create something of their own, something that they really care about, says exactly the same thing. Win, lose or draw they always express the same thought and most of the time they say it in exactly these words.

What they say is, "I should have done this sooner."
 
I've been using a Moleskine Classic large notebook for years... never heard of Field Notes or Leuchtturm1917 so I'll have to check them out.

1 thing that was always a pain was carrying around a good pen with my notebook. I'd always lose the damn pen or forget to bring it.

Until I found this...

Moleskine Pen Holder - Gnat Gnat

Prob will work with any similar style notebook.
 
I've been carrying on of these around in my back pocket for about 10 years now. Never know when a good idea will hit you.
