A Year to Change: Conversations with women on choice, connections, and clarity in midlife

A tip o’the hat to Merlin for this:

 

Beauty & Simplicity

The Hipster PDA (Parietal Disgorgement Aid) is a fully extensible system for coordinating incoming and outgoing data for any aspect of your life and work. It scales brilliantly, degrades gracefully, supports optional categories and “beaming,” and is configurable to an unlimited number of options. Best of all, the Hipster PDA fits into your hip pocket and costs practically nothing to purchase and maintain. Let’s make one together.

Building your first Hipster PDA

1. get a bunch of 3″x5″ file cards (here’s 500 for around 3 bucks)
2. clip them together with a binder clip
3. there is no step 3

Settings & Preferences

For you hotrods who like to tweak your equipment, I’ll note a few mods you might make to the basic configuration.

• Consider picking up some different kinds of cards—different colors, lined and unlined.
• Personally, I like the really small binder clips and a stack of 12 or fewer cards; experiment for the combination that suits you
• Try using a single different-colored card as a visual separator between used and fresh cards in your stack (helps you from accidentally giving someone an old, written-on note)
• Buy yourself a Fisher Space Pen. I’ll post more on this later (since I’m a bit obsessed with them), but The Fisher Bullet model is tiny, sturdy, and surprisingly comfortable to use. And, thanks to its famous nitrogen-forced ink well technology, the Space Pen writes upside down, underwater, and—yes I’ve tested it— through a pat of rich, creamery butter. It’s the perfect stylus for your new Hipster PDA.
