What's Hip And Lo-Fi?
Category: Stuff
The closest I ever got to owning a PDA is a PDA phone. I think a lot of other people will get mileage from it than I do, but still, I look hi-fi to my clueless technophobic friends, harrumph. In reality, I hardly ever access email thru it, much less bother with handwriting recognition even (it's too tedious to teach it my curly handwriting). Well, I get to transfer photos and documents from my PC to it (and vice versa), sometimes read the bible from it. Bottom line, I get to make calls and text messages. So much for PDA.
And then I found, via Lifehacker, a timely tip for 20 Different Ways to Manage Your To Dos, that ultimately led me to the Hipster PDA which really beats all other things, old or new. Function, color, ease of use, name it, it's all there. Most of all it's hip, doesn't hang on you, and works for everyone. According to its inventor:
"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."
I gotta get me some 3x5 colored index cards and binder clips now. Hooray for lo-fi!

And here I am back in the dinosaur age where I thought PDA = Public Display of Affection.
I'm doomed, non?

hello bluepoppy,
don't worry, i have pretensions to owning a semi-PDA but do not really maximize its functions, meaning, i'm really low-tech and just as cozy in the dinosaur age :)
a few years ago, someone so cleverly came up with these slim notepad paper journals. they came with a little pencil that went through the spiral binding, and the whole thing was wrapped up in a foil package that had a palm pilot printed upon it, complete with the logo. i gave these out as gifts at christmas; everyone was so impressed with them...until they tore open the bag. i actually quite preferred the paper palm pilot :)
happy new year to you and your family!
ha ha ha, that was really clever, and something i would have loved to give to my friends :)
i agree, nothing beats writing things down, which i incidentally have to remind myself to do more often so that i don't forget as much.
cheers!
