LEGO Calendar

"The Lego Calendar is a wall mounted time and resource planner. It’s made entirely of Lego, but if you take a photo of it with a smartphone all of the events and timings will be magically synchronised to an online, digital calendar."

I like the idea of being able to import it into a digital calendar by taking a photo, but that seems to limit its usefulness somewhat. Essentially, you would have read-only access to the calendar while you're working remotely; you can't update it until you're back in the office (or ask someone else to do it for you). Obviously they need some kind of Lego Mindstorms contraption to synchronise the Lego Calendar both ways ;)

Incidentally, given that the Lego Calendar "is not endorsed by Lego in any way," it'll be interesting to see how long it manages to hold on to that domain name!

Predictably enough, it's changed its name to "Bit Planner"
