Just received a most thoughtful and innovative New Year's gift from Amit (better known as
Labnol) - a calendar!

Cover page of Amit's Calendar |
As you can expect, unlike normal calendars, something from Amit (he personally designed every page of it) has to be innovative and it starts with the envelope which it came in - it has this
QR code along with Amit's address. Use a
QR/Bar Code scanner if you have one (easily available in the Android Marketplace, in case you're using an Android device) to read what it says:)

The most interesting part of the calendar is that it doesn't have any months, 'days' or year on it! Yes, it's just 16 pages with numbers 1-31 on either sides which makes it an eternal calendar! And there's more, every page has the 'Date' or number on it and along with that there's a couple of tech tips:) Each page has tips on any particular topic, e.g. RSS, Fax & Snail Mail, Wolfram Alpha etc.

Thank you very much for the wonderful gift Amit! And it is now enjoying pride of place on my office desk:)
P.S: The QR code says "Digital Inspiration wishes you a very happy and productive 2011."
