Paper polyhedra with identical faces
2008 calendar in lovely typefaces
Downloading free stuff off of geeky web-rings
These are a few of my favorite things!
Thanks to Ole Arntzen of the IT Department at the University of Bergen (Universitetet i Bergen) for providing a customizable dodecahedral calendar generator. You select the shape, year, language (from approximately 50 options), format (ps or pdf), and whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday; the resulting postscript or PDF file can be saved and printed, and assembled into a polyhedral calendar.
[Postscript added 12/24: A bit of experimentation suggests that the calendar generator implements the Gregorian calendar for all years, even those prior to the introduction of the Gregorian reform. Caveat lector! ]
