My awesome new PDA
My pal Gordon brought his new Hipster PDA on our trek to the Apple store this weekend. I’ve been hearing about it, but it’s the first time I’ve seen one.
For those of you who haven’t seen it, the Hipster PDA is a product of Merlin Mann’s 43 Folders Site. His directions on getting yours:
Building your first Hipster PDA
- 1. Get a bunch of 3″x5″ file cards
- 2. Clip them together with a binder clip
- 3. There is no step 3
I have plenty of electronics, but I may try this idea out. Next to my work cell, personal cell, iPod, GPS and the occasional notebook computer, it’s not like I need another gadget… It’s not exactly a Luddite reaction, but I like the simplicity of it… that it’s essentially free, I can shuffle and take out pages, stick them to my wall, attach them to client folders etc. All which would ruin my nice Molskine notebook that I have.
More info and pics here, and even a “hacks” site where you can find templates for printing your calendar out in the right format/size, pen clip ideas, and more.
I’ll give it a try and see if it keeps up with me… What do you use to keep your ideas, tasks and daily life in order?

I like it and I will try it - I will do my best not to make it ‘texas size’ however.
