New Index Card Templates

I've been using the DIY Planner hpda templates for some time, but I've always found them a bit too restrictive (ie - having to rewrite someday/maybes when promoting them to projects, etc). I liked the idea of plain white index cards, but missed some of the structure the templates provided. So I made new templates, very simple, that can be used for anything: collection, actions, projects, somedays, meeting notes. They are similar to Levenger's Flickr is back up and running. Feel free to use them for yourself.

Are your templates going to...

Are your templates going to be made available? You could submit to http://www.diyplanner.com/templates/directory
I've started making som simple templates in openoffice so say I go to a training class and want something to take notes on I just print off a few and go. I started using graph paper years ago in college (electronic engineering so a lot of diagrams and math and such) and started having trouble finding good graph paper as everything I could buy had much to heavy thick dark gridlines so I started playing with printing blank spreadsheets and tables to get grids, now I can make something like those levengers but with a notes colum and a graph section etc.

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. »
