Capturing ideas on the go?

ConcreteBrain wants to know how you would capture ideas on the go. The only comment on the post had half of the answer … carry a pen with you. Yeah, well that’s okay, but umm what about where to write it? I have two suggestions for you. First is the venerable Moleskine notebook. I have a small lined one that lives in my backpack or laptop bag (depending which I’m carrying) It has great paper (since I write with a fountain pen, this is really important to me) and a spiffy little pocket in the back for notes and receipts and stuff.
Great if you always have a bag with you, but what about those other times? PocketMod. Yeah I blog about this a lot, but hey it’s an awesome tool. Design and print one that meets your needs and just keep in your pocket. The pen/pencil part … well I always try to wear shirts with pockets so I can always have a pen handy. Geeky, but hey the number of times someone has asked if someone has a pen and I can offer one makes it worth it.
Seems pretty simple to me. Carry a pen and either a Moleskine or PocketMod (I have a PocketMod stashed in the pocket of my Moleskine, so how geeky is that?).
