The digital age. It’s upon us, which is bad news for the written word… sort of. Think of all those notes you took in school that you’re going to need one day (yeah, right). Hand written notes have to either be archived or you might spend a week or two searching for your scribbling’s. What if you could archive them digitally though? Well, Moleskine – the ultimate notebook – might have the right tool for you.

Moleskine and Livescribe (the only smart pen on the market that syncs handwritten notes with recorded audio) are partnering up to help all you writers out there get your notes and such onto your mobile devices and computers.

Introducing the Livescribe Notebook by Moleskine. All you have to do is tap on a handwritten sentence with your Livescribe pen, which listens to the words that were spoken at the time the sentence was being written.

Livescribe smartpens store records of written text (or sketches for all you rebellious students out there) in the body of the pen. The pen actually has a tiny camera in the barrel which records lines of ink and then uploads them to a mobile device, or the cloud. Although, considering the recent news, we’re not sure we really want to store anything in a cloud right now – maybe we’ll just stick to an external hard drive. Regardless, this awesome little device also records time stamped audio taken from when the sentence was created.

Iconic design combined with innovative technology equals futuristic note taking. This makes us wish we were back in class writing long essays by hand (not really though).

Pick up your Livescribe Notebook, as well as other great Moleskine products at the company’s website.

Remember no boxes? Get this cigar gift instead and save for Black Friday

Nondescript cigar bundles for when were cigars invented.

You may remember that recently I talked about not buying cigar boxes as gifts. I stand by that for a few reasons. The biggest is that they can be expensive, even on sale, and a box includes a lot more cigars than a sampler or small bundle. That means, if you pick wrong, and it can happen, many of those cigars won't be enjoyed the way you'd want. Instead, it's best to go with a smaller sampler of five to ten cigars max. You'll still need to do a bit of research and find out what your cigar person likes to smoke. But a sampler gives them a bigger variety and you more chances to earn a hit.

Just to provide you an example, this five-cigar sampler with is only $47, normally $55. Or, the is only $77, normally $85. Each pack includes five different cigars, the perfect cigar gift. Head on over to Famous Smoke Shop to check out their big sampler sale for Black Friday and you're sure to find something in there.

‘Moana 2’ is set to smash through a flurry of box office records

The movie is one of three titles expected to lift the box office to its best weekend in years

Moana in Moana 2

Given how popular the first Moana has been on Disney+ since the streaming service first debuted, it probably shouldn't be surprising that the film's sequel is making a boatload of cash. Variety is reporting that the movie made $28 million on Thanksgiving Day, and that the movie is expected to make at least $175 million over the five-day holiday weekend, smashing through the records set by Frozen II in 2019 ($125 million).

Some rival studios apparently believe that $175 million is the low end of what the movie might make, suggesting that it could blow past $200 million. The movie has already earned $85.5 million in the U.S. alone and seems guaranteed to become one of the biggest hits of 2024.
