My own weekly planner

My favorite weekly planner is the Moleskine Weekly Notebook with days on the left page and the right page free for notes. I also fell in love with Rhodia Dot Grid pattern. I thus combined the two in my very own weekly planner design. I used Pages to do this, simply overlaying white boxes over a dark grey box and putting them one pixel appart. Now if only I could print this on nice paper, I’d be a very happy camper.

iCloud

Made the switch over the weekend. So far, I’m pretty pleased. Seems to synchronize much faster than Mobile Me. Not too happy with the iWork document sharing though. Not worse than before, but not yet useful.

Text files seem to be the only thing easy to synchronize, iCloud or not. No wonder Markdown is getting a surge of popularity!
