For those of you using your Moleskine, Hipster PDA, or other notebook for any sort of productivity use, or for those who just want to have a calendar with them, check out the Thumb Calendar created by Adam Sporka.

Thumb Calendar

The concept is simple: by overlapping the months, Adam has been able to display six months worth of calendar dates on a piece of paper no larger than a business card.  The .pdf template comes ready to cut out and fold so you have a 2-sided card that can slide into your wallet, or you can cut the two halves apart and paste each of them into your Moleskine for a full year calendar on a single reference page.  Each half fits inside the width of a small Moleskine notebook with a small margin on each side:

For those wondering how to read this calendar:
1. Pick the month you want to read. 
2. Use your thumbs to cover the numbers that are not directly below the month header.
3. Note the color of the month header. The last day of the month is rendered in the same color.

The header of each month is appropriately aligned to show the actual days of the week, and there are versions of the calendar that go Sunday to Saturday and Monday to Sunday.

Thanks to Joe for bringing this to my attention.  This also seems to have been featured on Lifehacker last year, but I must have missed it the first time around.

Open for Business: President’s Day Yod Hunt

http://yodhunt.gr…

Yes, I’m not posting anything on my blog for the time being because certain people are using the content I post to make my life uncomfortable annoying. BUT… you can’t be mean about the Yod Hunt! So here it is!

At first, I didn't think I was going to manage the time to enter this edition of the Yod Hunt, what with the new little baby taking up pretty much every waking second of my weekend (that's about 172,800 seconds, for those of you who are counting).  But then I realized that the only way I could show support for Yod and whatever kind of attack he's undergoing would be to put together an entry.  So I did, and conveniently managed to take the pictures and put together this post in the 10 precious minutes a day my daughter seems to spend sleeping.  So enjoy, because it may be the last Yod Hunt I can enter for a while!

1. Take a picture that fully expresses how you feel about President George W. Bush. Your picture cannot contain words or humans.

After the rest of our civil liberties are gone, we’ll all feel this way

I think the caption says it all…

2. The US Dollar has taken a beating lately. Show us a new use for your now relatively worthless 1 dollar bill. If you live outside of the US, show us your currency's superpowers!

Well, a dollar bill IS made of linen

With the new price hikes by Huggies and Pampers, it's pretty much a wash whether you're using the bills to buy the baby wipes, or just skipping the middleman and using the bills themselves.  Hell, you might even be saving money by not wasting gas driving to the store to buy more!

3. Like LOLcats? Show us some LOLfood!

DO NOT WANT!!
