Forrest's notebooks were the inspiration for my robotics notebook. I have most of them (although I've scanned them because that paper was just not going to survive!) and when I learned about lab notebooks in college labs I started keeping a notebook of my experiments in building microprocessor systems. For hobby work, having a notebook was especially helpful because I could quickly resynchronize what I was working on just by reading my notes. I also drew schematics, and noted weird discoveries (like you can run TTL even when the ground line is actually 12V as long as the VCC line is 17V :-).
