PocketMod

I stumbled across this yesterday while looking for information on electronic organizers. I'd like to get myself a Palm at some point but I'm not sure I could justify the cost. The other alternative is to get a new phone (my current one is definitely on its last legs now) with a decent organizer built into it. But then that would present a whole set of problems in its own right - I'd have to go to an actual phone shop where they sell actual phones and put up with actual sales-people being actually pushy. But I digress...

Until I can afford some flashy piece of tech I shall have to make do with whatever I can lay my hands on. So when I discovered these here PocketMod things I was interested. They're a pain to fold (the instructions they give on the site are lame, watch the video instead) but I can see it being fairly useful.

So I've now set myself the simple task of using one for a month to see how I get on. Mine consists of the standard front page followed by 4 weekly planner pages, then a 2005 calendar and a 2006 calendar, then a conversion sheet on the back. If all goes well I may even create a LoweyProject to make a better piece of software for creating these things that interfaces with some calendar software to populate known dates etc.

Give 'em a go, they're kind of fun :)
