Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it. (Purple was my grandmothers favorite color and I have kinda now...

- Heavier paper (90gsm vs 80gsm) - Fewer sheets (70 vs 80) - Different cover
Compared to normal Rhodia staple pads?
RhodiaR (Rhodia in general) uses Clairfontaine paper and the only apparent difference that I can see is the paper colour: RhodiaR is ivory/cream paper while Triomphe is pure white. Then there's the whole perforated and non-perforated , glue vs. staple bound, but that's just minor detail.
Both actually feels like the same type of paper (a true paper enthusiast could probably protest to this, but for plebeian enthusiast like me, they feel the same...) It really comes down to your preference. Price wise, they're about the same. Triomphe has 50 sheets while Rhodia R has 70sheets, hence the slightly higher pricing for RhodiaR.
