Bubblewrap Calendar Lets You Pop Your Life Away, One Day at a Time
I haven't met a single soul who doesn't like popping bubblewrap, and now there's BubbleCalendar, a full printed calendar that uses the bigger, more satisfying bubbles. And that might all be very neat and stress-relieving... but I have misgivings. Doesn't the expiry of another day of your life, disappearing into the past with a little *phut* of plastic-wrapped gas sound rather sad? Available now with a paper backing for $29.95, and heavy-duty plastic backing for $49.95. [BubbleCalendar via Coolhunting]

Puzzle Calendar is Not LEGO Compatible
The last LEGO-ish calendar we saw was kinda boring, but that's definitely not the way we'd describe this Puzzle Calendar (not affiliated with LEGO). It features the days of the week as the top row, which you have to rearrange eveyr month in order to make a correct calendar. What's even better is that if you really, really want today to be Friday, you can totally make that happen. [ThinkGeek via Random Good Stuff]

Ok, it may not be an officially licensed product, but the term Lego-esque certainly applies to this desktop calendar. In true Lego style, the sections can be stacked and configured into any pattern you choose—and changing the date is as simple as smacking the top of each brick. And we all know that relieving some stress by smacking something at the office can be good thing...except when it is a face and/or ass. Available for around $27 US.

Tear a Page One Day At a Time
Here's a nifty idea. Take a Page-A-Day Calendar, bore a hole in the middle and place a clock in it. That's basically what designer Henk Stallinga did when constructing this Clock Calendar. With 365 pages we would suggest that if anyone were to start using this thing, start sometime around January to avoid a massive page rip off. [apartment therapy]

Digital Wall Calendar Combines Everyone's Calendars In One Gadget
The Digital Wall Calendar combines calendars for every member of a family, no matter what program or website they are on, into one gadget. Still a concept, the brainstorming map shows that it will use an LCD screen, SD card, have music/movie playing abilities, and an internet connection for synchronization. The development of this device is interesting, too. More »

Solid Gold 2008 Calendar for Clueless Rich Fucks
If you're going to put a 2008 calendar on your wall, might as well spend $257,000 on one made of solid gold, right? An opportunistic Tokyo jeweler hops on the soak-the-rich bandwagon for the second year in a row with this 26.3-inch-tall calendar that consists of 13.23 pounds of 24k gold. How ostentatious can you get, with an object that's so obviously disposable? Well, if you had a few billion dollars, what's $257,000 among friends? Attention, rich people with no brains: instead of literally throwing your money away on a nitwit item such as this, put that cash to work for the betterment of womankind. It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and you could buy pink Zunes from Warriors in Pink and pass them out to 1028 of your closest friends, with 100% of that money going to save boobies! Let's see ... save human beings, or buy a solid gold calendar? You decide. [Spluch]
We're not sure how many of Google's apps have gotten the iPhone makeover, but GMail (along with Google Calendar before it) look quite optimized for the phone's screen. Of course, there's no real use to optimizing Google Maps for it, so don't expect that one anytime soon. [Google via Boy Genius]

Google's finally put out an iPhone-friendly version of their Google Calendar, allowing you to add, view, but not edit or delete events from your phone. Of course, you could get this kind of functionality by syncing GCal to Calendar or Outlook and then syncing to your iPhone, allowing you to add, edit, and even delete events. But if you're one of those who insist on using only Google Calendar along with your GMail, this seems pretty usable—not to mention fast. [Google Calendar via GMailBlog via MacApper]

Chrono Shredder Shreds Away the Days
This project is the latest of designer Susanna Hertrich. It is a traditional 365 day calendar but it will shred the day. It unfortunately isn't a real product, but rather it is a product in a series of "fictional products designed to be useful for human hibernation." Any makers out there want to tackle this project? I'll pay for it (as long as I get to keep it). More »

Hands-On: Brando Penholder Rocks Out with Disco Blinkenlights
When we first saw this Colorful Light and Calendar with Penholder from Brando, we laughed at its tacky disco lighting. But then Brando sent us one for review, and we realized that a penholder, however tawdry, was a useful object to have around, especially when it had an accurate clock and calendar on the front.
