A Post About Calendars

Ken Knight produces beautiful, typographically-oriented wall and desk calendars. The classic Stendig calendar—it’s all Helvetica, baby—is interesting (and also available from Unica) but not quite as beautiful as the Pentagram design. I have no idea if Ken Knight is a person or company. Nice work.

I was rightly impressed by the creativity and innovation in design concepts for a business card-sized calendar.

I bought a simply lovely calendar in Portland, Oregon when I was down visiting Whit and Claire this last weekend. The artist, Nikki McClure, has beautiful work—seemingly all paper cut—and I hope to visit Olympia to see more of her pieces. The calendar is intended for public space somewhere in our house.

Brooke and I have spent the last handful of months almost wholly focused on the calendar functionality for CaseHawk, our law firm management web application venture. I am happy with our current treatment, beginning to believe in it as a strong alternative to Outlook and the like. The law firm will begin to use the calendar on Monday so Brooke and I will see how the functionality fares in real life. I am looking forward to moving on to another bit of the application.
