Above are some are the hacked Maker’s Notebook we have on display at Maker Faire Austin. The top one has a computer keyboard membrane on the cover and uses the membrane’s ribbon connector as a latch closure. The magnetic catch and metal strip can be seen in the second image. The third image is Marc de Vinck’s Notebook with an embedded cellphone screen, displaying a library of all of the Maker’s Notebook stickers (for when you can’t decide WHICH sticker you want on your cover). Can you figure out which is the virtual sticker? The last one is the steampunk’d Maker’s Notebook, de rigueur for airship captain’s everywhere. (Pardon the crude phonecam pics.)
