So, yeah - thar she be. I did a bit of a twist on the traditional Hipster PDA, which is meant to be made with index cards [the Hipster PDA Nano is made with business cards] and used with a Space Pen. I don't have a Space Pen, so as you can see I have partnered my Hipster PDA with my carabiner pen [that also has my name on it] as that can niftily hook on to my mini bulldog clip. Also, obviously I didn't use index cards. In part because I couldn't find any and also because I think colour is more interesting and I enjoy the texture of writing on construction paper [durable, yet pulpy]. And yes, I custom tore all of the construction paper myself. I am looking into getting myself some custom upgrades, but until I have a printer to call my own, that will have to wait. Priority number one is finding a mini year-long calendar to affix to my nifty new gadget.

Day Three Hundred and Fifty-One - Card Sharp
I was Googling index cards earlier today at work [ummm - don't ask - it really was for work] when I came across something called the Hipster PDA. The Hipster PDA is index cards attached by a bulldog clip and accompanied with a Space Pen and used in place of an electronic PDA. It's part of the whole "Getting Things Done" mindset - where you write everything down [like everything in your brain! write it down! right now!] and then you can work more freely. Apparently, this "device" has been around for years. I am not a hipster, so I had no clue. I often find myself adjacent to hipsters, but make no mistake - I'm not one of them. Anyway, on occasion I suppose that maybe hipsters have good ideas...although I think perhaps the Hipster PDA is called so ironically [is it? someone please tell me - I'm old and confused]. I think true hipsters have the newest of Blackberries or whatever is cooler than that - like an iPhone I guess. I felt this was calling my name so tonight I made a Hipster PDA. I think it might be the best device for me - the techophobe that I am.

So, yeah - thar she be. I did a bit of a twist on the traditional Hipster PDA, which is meant to be made with index cards [the Hipster PDA Nano is made with business cards] and used with a Space Pen.

I have to write EVERYTHING down! One of my friends, whose husband is a doctor, gave me a whole bunch of post-it notes that have drug names on them. I carry a pad in my purse at all times to jot reminders to myself.
My aunt used to work in a doctor's office and she has provuded me with an industrial amount of post-it notes. So I'm rather obsessed with them too!
