Got this from Emerson, who got it here, and there seems to be a whole lot of other people getting into the Hipster PDA.
Count me in
Oh wait. My mom has been doing her practical hack of the PDA all along (with recycled media), to note her grocery list and stuff. Hmmm.
UPDATE: I got ’em!
Ok, these (yes, I was masipag enough to make 2) are the ghettofied Hipster PDAs, that didn’t require me to trek to the bookstore. I couldn’t find my approximately dalawang-dangkal thick, old photocopied readings from college, so I’m assuming my mom used ’em up. Hence, I used the newsprint paper I print drafts on. Both use hard carton as support, and one has a thin folder cover. I could’ve gone smaller, but I’d prefer a larger display 🙂
Things to note with these:
- To-do List. Or, using the Hispter PDA as a GTD Tool (What’s GTD? Click here for the summary.). This will include going to places to take photos of, contact numbers of those places, etc.
- Camera exposure settings. Now this is one task I deem important when using my film-based cameras, that I never got to doing.
A zip lock bag wouldn’t hurt, too, since it is already the rainy season.
UPDATE: This is feaky, and dorky. I’m giddy over a glorified notepad.
First, I installed a calendar add-on/plugin, c/o a Burger King pocket calendar that always stayed in my wallet.
Second, I decided to spruce up the display with a printed on bond-paper pattern of the Dirkon camera.
Apparently, I’m not the only dork around here, since the creators even made a wiki for it.
TIP: Want an instant Hipster PDA? Ok. Remember those 1/4 sheet pad paper you used in elementary school? Yes, there’s your instant, clipless ‘Hipster‘ 😀 If you don’t remember that, you might’ve come from those elite, international schools, and could definitely afford a real PDA anyway.
Want a Hipster Mini? Easy. With the same type of pad paper, cut the thing in half, and you now have two Hipster Mini’s, one clipless, and another one that will require a clip
Post-it pads will do, though it will definitely be not as cheap as 1/4 sheet pad paper.
UPDATE (4:43 AM): Someone make me stop!
My Hipster Mini, roughly 2 1/2 x 4 inches. Easily pocketable.
Hipster Security (2:20 PM): Secured my Hipster Mini now with a plastic cd sleeve cut in half 🙂
hehe. adopted your calendar hack/plugin with a tropical hut calendar card 🙂
Ha! I conceptualized, and implemented an actual plugin
Oh ok, it was just a variation of the calendar plugin documented in the Hipster PDA world. Though, mine does have a pinoy flavor to it 😀
