What If Your Birthday Was On Monday Every Year?

11:20AM January 3, 2012 | Kristen Philipkoski

So the Gregorian calendar is kind of a pain, right? 30 days has September, April, June… and all that? Who can even remember that? Most of it doesn’t even rhyme. More »

5:59AM June 13, 2009 | Jason Chen

Palm already lets you sync the Pre with iTunes via its clever pretending-to-be-an-iPod, but that only gets music, video and photos onto your phone. Missing Sync does the rest. More »

Bubblewrap Calendar Lets You Pop Your Life Away, One Day at a Time

7:10PM July 8, 2008 | Gizmodo US Edition

I haven’t met a single soul who doesn’t like popping bubblewrap, and now there’s BubbleCalendar, a full printed calendar that uses the bigger, more satisfying bubbles. And that might all be very neat and stress-relieving… but I have misgivings. Doesn’t the expiry of another day of your life, disappearing into the past with a little *phut* of plastic-wrapped gas sound rather sad? Available now with a paper backing for US$29.95, and heavy-duty plastic backing for US$49.95. [BubbleCalendar via Coolhunting]

Puzzle Calendar is Not LEGO Compatible

1:40AM June 21, 2008 | Jason Chen

The last LEGO-ish calendar we saw was kinda boring, but that’s definitely not the way we’d describe this Puzzle Calendar (not affiliated with LEGO). It features the days of the week as the top row, which you have to rearrange every month in order to make a correct calendar. What’s even better is that if you really, really want today to be Friday, you can totally make that happen. [ThinkGeek via Random Good Stuff]

The Stackable, Smackable Lego Desktop Calendar

9:30AM April 11, 2008 | Sean Fallon

Ok, it may not be an officially licensed product, but the term Lego-esque certainly applies to this desktop calendar. In true Lego style, the sections can be stacked and configured into any pattern you choose—and changing the date is as simple as smacking the top of each brick. And we all know that relieving some stress by smacking something at the office can be good thing…except when it is a face and/or arse. Available for around $27 US.

Tear a Page One Day At a Time

11:18AM March 22, 2008 | Gizmodo US Edition

Here’s a nifty idea. Take a Page-A-Day Calendar, bore a hole in the middle and place a clock in it. That’s basically what designer Henk Stallinga did when constructing this Clock Calendar. With 365 pages we would suggest that if anyone were to start using this thing, start sometime around January to avoid a massive page rip off. [apartment therapy]

Extreme Planning: Calendar Laser-Etched Into Fingernails

6:00AM December 26, 2007 | Matt Buchanan

Didn’t get a calendar, cellphone, computer or any kind of portable electronic device at all for Christmahanukwanzaakkah? Or ever? Do you constantly forget what month it is? No sweat, just burn a calendar directly into your fingernails with a laser. It kinda smells during the whole burning carbon-attached-to-your-body process (surprise), but at least you don’t have to worry about flipping the page on the calendar every month, just clip your nails. Well, clip them anyway. Please. [MAKE]

iPhone + Google Calendar = Organization On The Go

4:41AM September 25, 2007 | Jason Chen

Google’s finally put out an iPhone-friendly version of their Google Calendar, allowing you to add, view, but not edit or delete events from your phone. Of course, you could get this kind of functionality by syncing GCal to Calendar or Outlook and then syncing to your iPhone, allowing you to add, edit, and even delete events. But if you’re one of those who insist on using only Google Calendar along with your GMail, this seems pretty usable—not to mention fast. [Google Calendar via GMailBlog via MacApper] More »
