Giveaway: Keel's Simple Diary, Volume One

I was provided this Keel's Simple Diary by the team handling PR for Taschen, and since it is such an interesting product I thought that instead of defacing a few pages for review purposes that I would give it away to a lucky reader who would put it to good use.

The Keel's Simple Diary is a mash-up of a regular diary, a blog, Twitter, Mad Libs, and a sketchbook.  Each day that you choose to use the Simple Diary, you are presented with a set of questions - some multiple choice, some open-ended -  plus a few other items to get your brain flowing.  It is basically a diary for those without a lot of time to write down their thoughts every day.  The Simple Diary guides you along, providing a nice way to capture the moments in your life.  Here is the full press release:

Philipp Keel's Simple Diary™

Volume One

In a world where products are out as soon as they're in, where communicating without wires doesn't come without strings, and even our accessories need accessories, we need simple tools. A book that helps us look inside because we are overloaded outside.

Why Simple Diary™?

There are three reasons why most people, although they have tried, won't keep a diary:

1. Not every day is very eventful.
2. It actually takes a lot of discipline to write.
3. In retrospect, many find what they have written embarrassing.

Keel's Simple Diary™ offers structure for those who don't have time to wonder, making it easy to record life's moments. It gives the pleasure of a quick response and the sense that no matter what's wrong, more is right.

What is Simple Diary™?

It is an assistant for life, a book for any occasion, for any person at any age. On every page you will discover a taste of philosophy, a pinch of psychology and a twist of insight.

And here are three things Simple Diary™ can do for you:

1. Entertain the mind.
2. Help you focus.
3. Keep you company.

Simple Diary™
Let it happen.
