THIS POCKET NOTEBOOK SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION UNTIL JULY 1st, 2023
Inspiration is for Amateurs
The rest of us just show up
and get to work.
More than just paper to write on.
Your office desk is missing something - and so is your back pocket or purse.
This July we're introducing not one, but two
color schemes to kick off our very first edition.
Each 2-pack will contain one 'rust & raven' notebook,
and one 'leaves of grass' notebook.
Each two-pack is yours for 14 dollars.
$17 if you're in Canada.
And there's complimentary shipping when you
order three or more.
Tom Heehler - Ex Machina Designer
"These cool retro notebooks - designed originally for the students at the G. Von Leibniz School of Innovation - will be offered
to the public beginning July 1st, 2023."
"And look for my limited-edition quarterlies to debut
in December of 2024 when classes officially begin. Each quarterly edition will feature the latest ways to embrace
and collaborate with AI.
And, in the fall of 2024, look for the Notes Ex Machina
"Innovator's Journal" to debut in bookstores nationwide.

Notes Ex Machina are prized
for their gorgeous embossed covers. (We spared no expense.)
Each 7" by 3.5" notebook is bound with 72 pages of ruled and barren 80-gram archival-quality paper (carbon-balanced).

Our Not-So-Humble Beginnings
In 1666, Gottfried von Leibniz (pronounced LIBE-nits) invented a method for generating ideas that would lead directly to calculus, the computer, the steam engine, and hundreds of other ideas we all take for granted today.
But by the time of Leibniz’s passing, Sir Isaac Newton despised him, the German intelligentsia had publicly mocked him, and the blueprints to his creativity machine - wrongly assumed to be hopelessly flawed - would be dismissed, along with the man himself. He was buried in
an unmarked grave.
Fast-forward to 2023 and Leibniz’s method would be resurrected and improved
upon as the Andromeda cEngine, a "human-augmented AI system" designed for the mass-production of ideas
on a global scale.
Why this remarkable machine went ignored for over three centuries, and how artificial intelligence has enhanced it today, are the subjects of
our debut edition.
Oh, but there's more...
Inside you'll find three cleverly illustrated "conundrums"
(real-life scenarios that are just
waiting to be improved upon).
See if you can use Leibniz's prompts to innovate
all three conundrums, just as
he would, and try to do it
without looking at the
answers in the back.
If you succeed, you'll know what it feels like to generate the very same ideas that creative geniuses have - even if you're getting a little help from the cEngine.

These notebooks are not intended for election deniers.
And that's all we have to
say about that.
