Franklin Covey Index Card Holder

I was in my local Office Depot when I saw something I'd never seen on the shelf before. Franklin Covey makes an mine. Office Depot claims it holds only 10 cards, yet I have 40 or so in there and could hold maybe 10 more without problems. Has anyone else seen/used this? What do you think?

I'm using mine right now....

I'm using mine right now. I like it -- especially for the $15 price.

My micro-review:
+ good price
+ nice leather
+ many pockets (five places to store things)
+ space for business cards
+ much nicer looking than all the other low-cost alternatives to the Levenger stuff (I've looked at the Target, Buston, etc. models, and this one looks much more professional)

- pen holder is too narrow for my pens (it fits a Zebra Sarasa with some difficulty and doesn't close all that well with it in there)
- I think a Levenger pocket briefcase would have a thinner form factor (this doesn't fit in my shirt pocket very well at all)

If you've been interested in the International Pocket Briefcase, this is certainly worth a look. I am still tempted by the ballistic pocket briefcase though...

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
