The clever Post-A-Note pen comes with a built-in cartridge filled with small yellow Post-it inspired notes, so you’ll never have to worry about being without paper again.

It looks just like a smart, high-quality ballpoint pen, but turn the barrel and it dispenses a brightly-coloured self-adhesive note so your message won’t be missed.

• Choose polished Black or brushed Stainless Steel finish
• Pack of 6 extra paper cartridges also available

The Post-A-Note Pen is available from Expert Verdict for £19.95 (about $29 USD).

Pravan Mistry, a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab, has come up with a cool way of digitizing 3M’s good ol’ yellow Post-it notes.

‘Quickies’ are stickies that have some intelligence and the ability to remind us about the task we ought to perform or to provide us at the right time with the information we captured in the past. ‘Quickies’ enrich the experience of using sticky notes by allowing them to be tracked and managed more effectively.

The project explores how the use of RFID, Artificial Intelligence and ink recognition technologies can make it possible to create intelligent sticky notes that can be searched, can send reminders and messages, and more broadly, can help us to seamlessly connect our physical and digital worlds.

Here’s a video demonstration of the Quickies:

Why settle with normal post-it notes when you can get mega ones? Maybe because it’s meant to be just that; a note, not an article.

The Genius Pads (from $9.60 per pad) looks quite fun though with their 30 x 30cm (11.81 x 11.81in.) mega format.

It makes a great alternative to an office note pad or sticky notes, and rather than sticking lots of little stickys together, there’s plenty of room on one sheet for all your information! It is VERY useful on a desk or by the telephone.
