Ultimate Hipster PDA Wiki

This is probably the coolest thing ever and I highly recommend it for those who are always in need of writing down a few notes or thoughts they know they will forget. The “Hipster PDA” introduced in 43folders is just a stack of index cards clipped with a binder clip. Its beauty comes from the elegance of its economical use. Sure you have your PDA and UMPC but you can’t deny the power of lo-fi functionality. There is no reason why people should be caught up in the sleek, uber modern, featureful PDA considering it isn’t that easy to get all your work done. Granted it makes more complicated tasks easier, but taking notes and formulating that next brilliant patent pending idea requires only a pen and paper. Imagine all the great works that have come from rough sketches on restaurant napkins?

43folders has a wiki that shows all the variants of “Hipster PDAs” from extra diner tabs to sophistocatedly photoshopped print outs. If you have one, tell me about your experience. I would love to see how it worked out for your lifestyle.

I was about to make a binder ring version with the hard protective cover, but opted for a moleskin journal instead from Barnes and Noble. It is still a great thing to do and it is extremely affordable.
