    • Ali says part of the appeal is feeling a bit of a badass: when everyone uses tech, there is something romantic about writing in a physical notebook in a coffee shop, sipping a latte "like a pretentious twat". — 00:00:51
    • After two years of writing with the Apple Pencil on his iPad Pro, which is now his default, Ali finds pen on paper a different experience; the novelty has not worn off in five weeks, and the delight of it makes him write more. — 00:01:35
