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 run a hipster which is 8.5x11 paper folded into 1/6 size and clipped with a binder clip. I'm Windows and Outlook, but all I do is print a week calendar, 2 months calendar, a filtered phone list, and a context-filtered do list. With it I keep some extra calling cards and another sheet or two of reference. I reprint on a weekly basis. I fold these individually so that I can get at them easily, but find that I don't need them often, because I also print a daily calendar folded into 1/6; this sheet also contains my daily do's. I keep this in my shirt pocket. It is my main bucket for handwritten notes. » POSTED IN:
