Custom index cards from your own printer
Merlin Mann | Apr 14 2005
Just A Guy - Adam Gurno » Tricking out the Hipster Adam Gurno has some nice tricks for making your own customized 3x5 cards. My janky EPSON is a bit balky about printing at that size, but it sounds like the HP Adam uses works like a champ. Recommended article for Hipster PDA fans and garden-variety index card geeks.
The biggest revelation—and I feel dopey that this never really sunk in before—once you get the basic printing at that size working, you can print out your calendar, contact information, TODO lists, etc. Handy for when you're hitting the road and want all your stuff in the HPDA form-factor without re-writing what you'll need in longhand. 29 Comments

 I hold all my contacts...Submitted by Richard Carter (not verified) on April 14, 2005 - 9:35am.
I hold all my contacts in an Excel spreadsheet and mail-merge them into a 2-column Word document that I print on an index card. If you have good eyesight, you can choose a really small font and cram your whole address book on a single card. It's easy to update too. » POSTED IN:
